Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 2 green onions
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Cut the 16.3-oz can of refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters. Spread these pieces across the bottom of your prepared dish.
- Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Pour ⅓ cup milk over the eggs. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper into the mixture.
- Whisk the egg blend until smooth and fully combined. Stir 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 8 crumbled bacon slices into the liquid.
- Pour the entire egg, cheese, and bacon mixture directly over the biscuit pieces. Make sure every piece of dough gets coated with the liquid.
- Slide the baking dish into the 350°F oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center sets and the top turns a deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Slice into squares. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top if you prefer extra flavor.
Notes
- Chop bacon into small, crispy pieces for even distribution throughout the dish.
- Ensure biscuit dough is evenly spread to create a consistent base that absorbs the egg mixture perfectly.
- Let the bake rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to help the eggs set and make cutting easier.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular biscuit dough with a gluten-free alternative and check that your bacon is gluten-free.
