Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb bacon
- 6 large eggs
Starches:
- 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Crisp the entire pound of bacon in a skillet until perfectly golden and crunchy, then drain and crumble into small pieces.
- Slice each refrigerated buttermilk biscuit into four equal quarters and arrange them in an even layer across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
- Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them vigorously with ½ cup milk, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper until completely smooth.
- Distribute the crumbled bacon evenly over the biscuit pieces, creating a consistent layer of smoky goodness.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese across the entire surface of the casserole.
- Gently pour the seasoned egg mixture over the entire dish, making sure every corner gets moistened and covered.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated 350°F oven and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the eggs set completely.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to allow everything to settle and cool slightly.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving warm.
Notes
- Bacon quality matters, so choose thick-cut bacon for maximum flavor and crispy texture.
- Prepare the casserole night before by assembling all ingredients except eggs and refrigerate, adding egg mixture just before baking.
- For a gluten-free version, replace biscuits with cubed gluten-free bread or hash browns.
- If watching sodium intake, use low-sodium bacon and reduce added salt in the egg mixture.
