Breakfast Monkey Bread Tips and Variations
Here are some simple tips and ideas for making savory monkey bread! There are many ways to switch up the ingredients and make it your own. Have fun with it!
- Seasoning Options: The Everything bagel seasoning can be substituted for other seasonings or just salt and pepper. Use 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch or two of black pepper.
- Different Cooking Options: You can use a 6-cup bundt pan by cutting the recipe in half and baking it for 20-25 minutes. Alternatively, you can spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray, divide the mixture into 12 portions, and bake for 13-18 minutes to make mini Monkey Bread muffins.
- Other Canned Biscuits: If you use regular-sized canned biscuits instead of the Grands, use the same number of cans, but cut the biscuits in half instead of in quarters.
- Add Onion and Peppers: Sauté 1/2-1 cup of onions or peppers and stir them in with everything to add a little more variety of flavor.
- Add Chives: Try adding 1-2 tablespoons of chopped chives with the eggs or stirring them into the biscuit mixture.
