WHAT ARE PULL APART BREAKFAST MUFFINS?

I know you have seen pull-apart bread on Pinterest but if you haven’t check out these sweet and savory versions.  This Apple Pecan Streusel sweet version from Julie from Hostess at Heart and this savory Cheesy Pesto Pull-Apart Bread from Spill the Spices.

Basically, pull-apart bread is layers of bread stuffed with spices, cheese, meats, sauces, etc. and then baked in a loaf pan.

The bread dough layers cook and puff up to mimic a loaf of bread that is “pre-sliced” with the layers you put together. You pull-apart or peel off your slice and enjoy all the goodness.

This sounds fun to me for sure, but here at Take Two Tapas we are all about small portions so let’s shrink it down a bit!

These Pull-Apart Breakfast Muffiins are the bomb! | Take Two Tapas | #Breakfast #pull-apart #muffins #biscuits

Before I show you how to make the pull-apart breakfast muffins I need to tell you about the biscuits that I use for them. Since they are breakfast muffins and for morning time I prefer to use a “breakfast bread” like biscuits.

I like to use Immaculate Baking Company’s flaky biscuits because the layers peel apart easily.

Immaculate Baking Company is set on making wholesome products that are perfect for baking all sorts of sweet and savory recipes.

Many of their products are organic and gluten-free which is perfect for those struggling to find delicious gluten-free items to cook with. If you have questions about their products check out there FAQ page here.

You need to run out and get their biscuits and their cookie dough for sure. Now let’s get on with the recipe for these pull-apart breakfast muffins!

Fun, Pull-Apart Breakfast Muffins

There is a little prep involved but it is fun, I promise. First off, cook the bacon that you use in the pull-apart breakfast muffins.

I don’t like to use bacon bits or precooked bacon because I love to smell bacon cooking in my house and my boys love to eat bacon.

So, cook your bacon and chop or crumble it up. You will need a cup of crumbled cooked bacon.

Now gather your two muffin pans, muffin ingredients, some non-stick spray, and your biscuits.

Find a clean space on a cutting board or baking sheet. Peel each biscuit into 4 layers.

Immaculate Baking Co. flaky biscuits peel apart easily which is why they bake up extra flaky! You can peel the biscuits in stages so you don’t have 96 layers all over your countertop.

Enjoy peeling the layers! | Pull-Apart Breakfast Muffins | Take Two Tapas | #Baking #Breakfast #Pull-Apart #Muffins #Biscuits

Start by placing 12 biscuit layers down. I like to make a square to keep the mess to a minimum but go with what makes you happy.

Sprinkle each layer with a little bacon and cheese. Don’t overdo it too early as you will be doing two more layers of cheese and bacon but again, go with what makes you happy.

Continue until you have three layers of biscuit, bacon, and cheese. Top with one last layer of biscuit and press down to slightly smush them to get the layers to stick together. Cut each stack in half.

Place a half of each stack in a prepared muffin pan well, cut side up, until you have filled all 24 wells.

In a separate bowl, combine your eggs and milk. Whisk or stir quickly to break up the eggs and mix them into the milk completely.

Pour the egg and milk mixture over each of the pull-apart breakfast muffin halves dividing it evenly in the 24 muffins. When I pour mine it fills up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the muffin pan with the biscuit layers in them.

Bake in the oven at 375F for 10 minutes. At the 10 minute mark, switch the pans in the oven while rotating the pans as well. This ensures that the bottoms don’t burn and the eggs cook evenly.

Bake for another 6-8 minutes or until the eggs are done to your liking. Remove the pans when the pull-apart breakfast muffins are done and slightly golden brown on top.

Let cool for a minute or two and then remove to a serving pan. Serve warm and enjoy!

These Pull-Apart Breakfast Muffins will pair nicely with my Breakfast Cheese Ball with blackberries and granola!
