Seasonings and Garnishes:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and generously coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
- Cut ½ cup cold butter into small cubes and work into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles rough, pebbly crumbs.
- Fold ½ cup shredded cheddar and ¾ cup buttermilk into the dough until a soft texture develops.
- Press the biscuit dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Whisk 6 large eggs with ½ cup milk, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon onion powder in a separate bowl.
- Crumble 4 strips of turkey bacon and stir into the egg mixture along with 1 cup shredded cheddar and ¼ cup chopped green onions.
- Pour the egg mixture smoothly over the biscuit base, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes until eggs are completely set and the top turns golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into servings.
Notes
- Use cold butter and work quickly to keep the biscuit base flaky and tender.
- Swap turkey bacon for regular bacon, ham, or vegetarian bacon alternatives to customize the protein.
- Grate cheese fresh for better melting and more intense flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Make the casserole ahead and refrigerate overnight, allowing flavors to blend before baking in the morning.
