Ham, Egg and Cheese Monkey Bread

David Venable

Tasty fixings between a biscuit are always a good choice! This recipe has the same great taste, just made to feed a larger crowd.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tsp hot sauce, divided
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 (16.3-oz) cans refrigerator biscuits, cut into fourths
  • 1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated and divided
  • 1-1/2 cups Swiss cheese, grated and divided
  • .5 lb deli-sliced ham, large dice and divided
  • 1 cup, plus 2 Tbsp, scallions, sliced and divided
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 Tbsp water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, 2 tsp hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
Dip a piece of a biscuit into the mixture and place it in the bottom of a bundt pan. Repeat until the bottom of the bundt pan is covered with an entire biscuit layer. Top the biscuits with 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss, half of the ham, and 1/3 cup scallions.
Add another layer of dipped biscuits. Top with 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss, the reminder of the ham, and 1/3 cup scallions.
Assemble a final layer of dipped biscuits.
Pour the remaining egg mixture into the bundt pan and overtop the ingredients. Sprinkle on the remaining cheeses and 1/3 cup scallions.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour or until a thermometer inserted into the center reaches 155°F.
Cover the bundt pan with foil if the top begins to brown too much and the bread isn't fully baked.
Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, water, and 1 tsp hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Remove the finished bread from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Invert it onto a serving platter. Drizzle the mayonnaise sauce overtop and garnish with 2 Tbsp scallions. Serve extra sauce on the side when serving.

Cook's Notes

No bundt pan on hand? No problem! Make this recipe in a casserole dish.
