Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 ounces / 462 grams, contains 8 biscuits)
- 6–8 strips of crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Liquid Ingredients:
- ½ cup milk
Seasonings and Garnishes:
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
- Hot sauce for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 centimeters) baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Slice each biscuit into four equal quarters, then distribute these pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp and golden, then carefully crumble into small, uniform pieces using a knife or your hands.
- In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together eggs, whole milk, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Fold the crispy bacon crumbles and of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Gently pour the egg and cheese mixture over the biscuit pieces, making sure to cover them completely without disturbing their arrangement.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the casserole for an extra layer of cheesy goodness.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the biscuits have risen and turned a beautiful golden brown.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to help it set and make cutting easier.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions or a drizzle of hot sauce for added flavor and visual appeal.
