Bundt Vegetable Bread
A savory vegetable bread with melted cheese, perfect for brunch or as a side dish, combining tender vegetables with cheesy, flaky biscuit dough baked in a bundt pan.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt oleo in a pan and sauté the chopped vegetables (celery, onion, green pepper).
- In a large bowl, mix the sautéed vegetables, grated Cheddar cheese, and cut biscuit pieces.
- Pour the mixture into a greased bundt pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using sautéed garlic or herbs like thyme and rosemary. If you don't have oleo, butter or margarine works well as a substitute. You can also customize the cheese; mozzarella or pepper jack can provide a different taste. If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free biscuit dough instead.
Serving Suggestions
This Bundt Vegetable Bread makes a delightful side dish for brunch or lunch, pairing beautifully with a fresh salad or a bowl of soup, such as Spicy Sausage-Bean Soup. For a heartier meal, serve alongside grilled meats or as part of a buffet spread. It's also great for potlucks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen vegetables instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen mixed vegetables. Just make sure to thaw and drain them thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the bread. This can save time and still provide great flavor.
How do I know when the bread is done baking?
The bread should be golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. If the top browns too quickly, you can cover it with foil for the last few minutes of baking.
Can I add meat to this recipe?
Absolutely! Cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage can be mixed in for added protein. Just reduce the amount of cheese slightly to balance the flavors, making it a satisfying dish for meat lovers.
