Mexican Breakfast Bundt for #BundtBakers

Our challenge this month for Bundt Bakers is Savory Bundts, chosen by PJ of Seduce Your Tastebuds, who is hosting this month.

I tossed around a lot of ideas when choosing what I would make.  I had made a lemon and rosemary bundt when our theme was weird flavor combinations.  The rosemary lent a savory feel to the cake, even though it was sweet.  I thought about going with an herbal concoction of some sort.  Then I remembered that for the Cinnamon Bundt challenge, I had made Monkey Bread, which is very sweet but used biscuits.  This got me thinking of different pull apart breads.  I had made some amazing Garlic pull apart rolls using biscuits, so I was thinking of maybe something pizza like.  I was pretty set on that idea and then I was planning a brunch and wanted to make a Mexican Strata.  Palm strike to the head moment.....why not make a strata using biscuits in the bundt?  Well, why not, I thought.  So, I did.


I started out browning up some chorizo and onions.


Transferred the Chorizo to a bowl.
Added cheese, salsa and green chiles.


Added biscuits from a can, that I cut into quarters.
And 9 eggs that I had seasoned with salt and pepper and whisked.
Why 9?...That's how many I had LOL...use 10, 11 or 12 if you want.
Poured all of it into a bundt pan that I had sprayed very liberally with cooking spray.


Baked at 350* for 30 minutes.
It came out fluffy and beautifully browned.
I let it cool in the pan before attempting to remove it to a platter.
Praying the entire 15 minutes or so.
I ran a spatula around the edges before turning it onto a plate.


It stuck a little as you can see but not too badly.


I cut it into slices and served it by the plate since I was a little disappointed with the presentation.


It may not be beautiful but it is absolutely, mouth wateringly, delicious.
You know it is a hit when everyone went back for seconds and a couple of them went back for thirds.
It does a cook's heart good to see their food enjoyed and appreciated.
Serve this up at your next brunch, it's good for your heart.

  4. I have never seen a bundt cake quite like this. It sounds great with all those flavors and is far enough away from an actual cake to not seem weird with savory flavors. I once made savory muffins and though they were good, I could never get over the fact that they weren't sweet.
