Tips on making savory breakfast bundt cake
- Spray the bundt pan. In order for the cooked bread to release easily, make sure to REALLY spray the bundt pan with cooking or baking spray. I recommend to use duck fat cooking spray.
- Don't overcook the eggs: Scramble the eggs lightly before adding to mixture. We don't want any rubbery texture to our delicious bread.
- Season generously: Add spices like garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Use a knife to check if the bread is done. I always insert a knife into several spots of this breakfast cake in order to determine whether it is done and ready to eat!
Recipe variations
Add vegetables (spinach, bell peppers), swap bacon for sausage, or experiment with cheeses like Colby Jack or mozzarella.
Storage and leftovers
- Slice it up. I slice the breakfast cake into one inch pieces and store it sliced.
- Use air tight container. This is an obvious choice, if you have the right size container.
- Ziploc bag. I also like to store the sliced bread in ziploc bags - they are compact and fit in any area of a refrigerator.
