Cream Cheese Breakfast Pull Apart

Oh, goodness.

I found something a long while ago on the internet that I have been DYING to try.

Now tell me that doesn't look AMAZING. 

That photo is courtesy of Megan at pipandebby.com. It looked so incredible that I just had to try it. 

There was one issue though.. I didn't have a bundt pan. So what did I do?

I bought one! How could I not own a bundt pan!? It's a baking staple!

Well, okay.. I didn't buy it... I made boyfriend go get one. Haha. 

He's so good to me. 

And then I made it for breakfast this morning. 

Now, I realize this is really sweet to have for breakfast, but every Christmas morning since I was about 12, my mom has always made Monkey Bread for Christmas breakfast. So every now and then... I crave monkey bread like you wouldn't believe. And I couldn't believe how easy this was to make!

Now, the monkey bread my mom makes needs to rise over night. I'm too lazy for that, so I really liked that this recipe uses canned flaky biscuit dough. 

Genius!

While I did like a lot of Megan's recipe, I just had to change some things. So here is my version.

You will need:

• 1C butter
• 1C brown suger
• 1C sugar
• 2 Tb cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp ground mace (if you don't have it.. don't worry about it.)
• Pinch of salt
• 2 cans original flaky biscuits (I just happen to love Pillsbury)
• 1 8 oz package of cream cheese
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350. Spray bundt pan with non stick spray.
STEP 2: Melt butter
STEP 3: In a medium bowl, combine sugars and spices and mix to combine.

STEP 4: Poor 1/3 of the melted butter over the sugar mix. Mix until it looks like wet sand. Set aside.

STEP 5: Slice your cream cheese into 16 equal sized triangles.This is how I cut mine, and I found it to be the simplest way.
STEP 6: Separate all 16 biscuits. Split each one in half, insert cream cheese triangle, then reseal. I like the flaky biscuits because they split open so easily. 

STEP 7: Place 8 biscuits in the bottom of the bundt pan. If your bundt pan is bigger than mine, they won't be as squished together. It shouldn't be a big deal though. Sprinkle 1/2 sugar mixture over the biscuits until they are well covered, then pour 1/2 of remaining butter over it.

STEP 8: Place last 8 biscuits over the first ones, staggering them so they don't sit directly on top of the first layer. This will create a neat effect when you slice into the bread, so that no matter what size slice you want, you will have the same ratio of cream cheese and bread.

STEP 9: Sprinkle rest of sugar mixture over the top of the second layer of biscuits, then pour on the rest of the butter.
STEP 10: Place in oven and bake for 40-42 minutes. I put mind on a foil lined lipped baking sheet, just in case there was some spill over. Make sure your rack is low enough in the oven to allow for rise.

STEP 11: Remove from oven and invert onto serving tray. Slice, and enjoy! 

Boyfriend and I ate about half of this just the two of us, and I'm saving some for when C comes over tonight. Our girls have a big game tomorrow, and she and I are leaving SUPER early in the morning to scout another team. Guess what we will be having for breakfast! 

Make sure you refrigerate your leftovers! (if there are any!)
