Patterson Watkins brings us this delectable twist on classic monkey bread, which infuses the iconic flavors of the beloved everything bagel seasoning into each fluffy bite. The simplicity of this recipe is matched only by its sensational taste, making it the perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or any time you crave a savory delight.

Watkins tells us, "This savory monkey bread is meant for a group. Bring this along to your next brunch potluck or big breakfast gathering."

With just 3 easy-to-find ingredients, you can create a delectable masterpiece that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy, especially if you serve them alongside classic bagel toppings like lox and cream cheese. The combination of soft, pillowy biscuit pieces coated in a medley of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and salt is supremely satisfying. Whether you're hosting a gathering, seeking a quick snack, or looking to impress your family with a unique breakfast creation, this everything bagel monkey bread is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

To make this 3-ingredient everything bagel monkey bread, you can start by gathering your ingredients. For this recipe, you'll need butter and canned biscuits from the refrigerator section of the grocery store. (You may want to grab an extra can or 2 while you're at it — not only can you whip up this monkey bread with the stuff, but you can even use canned biscuits to make pretzels.)

Lastly, you'll of course need everything bagel seasoning. Since this beloved creation is so popular, we've been able to locate it at most grocery stores. However, Watkins says, "You can always craft your own everything bagel seasoning blend if you have trouble sourcing a store-bought option."

Before you open up the biscuits, be sure to grease your bundt pan with ¼ cup of butter. "I have a bit of a troubled relationship with my bundt pan. She sticks. A lot," Watkins says. "So, I make a concerted effort to thoroughly grease up." Before you forget, this is also a great time to preheat the oven to 350 F.

Cut the biscuits into quarters before rolling them into balls. Once each ball has been rolled, melt the remaining 1 cup of butter and dip each one inside to cat. Next, dip the buttery biscuit balls in the everything bagel seasoning, turning them over to get evenly covered.

Place the seasoned biscuit balls in the bundt pan, being sure to press down slightly to ensure that the dough is in every nook and cranny. Then, pour the remaining melted butter over the entire dish.

Bake the monkey bread for 40 minutes, and allow it to cool on a wire rack. Once the bread has cooled completely, invert the pan onto a serving platter; you may need to tap the bundt pan a bit to allow the bread to release from the sides.

Now it's time for the fun part! Since you are likely serving this to a crowd, up the ante by presenting this easy dish alongside an assortment of fixings. Assemble your bagel bar with all the appropriate accoutrement. Watkins recommends "cream cheese, tomatoes, onion slices, capers, smoked salmon, cucumbers, etcetera," adding, "If you like it on an everything bagel, you'll love it with this inspired monkey bread." To complete the shareable spread, add your favorite brunch cocktails, such as fruity mimosas or spiked cold brew.
