Ingredients

• 6-ounce package of Canadian bacon , diced
• 2 cups O’Brien frozen hash browns (thawed and drained)
• 12 large eggs
• 1 can Pillsbury biscuits (uncooked, about 10 biscuits)
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend works well)
• ½ cup whole milk
• Salt and pepper , to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) .
2. Grease a standard Bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Base Layers

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced Canadian bacon , thawed O’Brien hash browns , and shredded cheese . Toss gently to distribute evenly.
2. Spread half of this mixture evenly across the bottom of the greased Bundt pan, pressing down lightly to create an even layer.

Step 3: Add the Biscuit Dough

1. Open the can of Pillsbury biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into quarters and scatter half of the pieces evenly over the Canadian bacon and hash brown layer in the Bundt pan.

Step 4: Make the Egg Mixture

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs , whole milk , salt , and pepper until fully combined. Season generously to taste.
2. Slowly pour half of the egg mixture over the ingredients in the Bundt pan, allowing it to soak into the layers.

Step 5: Build the Second Layer

1. Sprinkle the remaining Canadian bacon, hash browns, and cheese mixture over the first layer in the Bundt pan.
2. Add the remaining biscuit pieces on top, spreading them evenly.
3. Pour the rest of the egg mixture over the top, ensuring it seeps down into all the layers.

Step 6: Bake the Breakfast Bundt Cake

1. Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes , or until the eggs are fully set, the biscuit pieces are golden brown, and the top is puffed and bubbly.
2. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the cake—it should come out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

1. Remove the Bundt pan from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes to allow the layers to set.
2. Carefully invert the Bundt pan onto a serving plate or platter. Tap the bottom gently to release the cake. If needed, run a knife around the edges to loosen it.
3. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy as-is or with a side of salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for extra flavor.

Tips for Success

• Hash Brown Variations: Use regular frozen hash browns if you prefer, but O’Brien hash browns add extra flavor and texture with their mix of onions and peppers.
• Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for extra stretchiness.
• Make Ahead: Assemble the Bundt cake the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. Bake it in the morning for a stress-free breakfast.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days . Reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven for best results.
