Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup milk
Seasonings:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Crisp 8 bacon slices in a skillet until deeply golden and crunchy, then chop into small fragments.
- Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them with ½ cup milk, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until smoothly combined.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit can and slice each round into quarters, spreading them evenly across the greased baking dish.
- Scatter the crumbled bacon pieces across the biscuit layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon, covering the entire surface.
- Gently pour the seasoned egg mixture across the baking dish, making sure it covers the biscuits, bacon, and cheese thoroughly.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking that the eggs are fully set and the top turns a rich golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the layers to settle.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for maximum crispiness and flavor in the bake.
- Grate your own cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting and texture.
- Let the bake rest for 5-10 minutes after baking so the eggs can set completely and make slicing easier.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free.
