Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease and crack the eggs directly into the pan. Cook the eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to create a larger surface area.
- Place a slice of crispy bacon in the center of each flattened biscuit, then top with a cooked egg and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the egg.
- Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, pinching the seams to completely seal the ingredients inside.
- Transfer the stuffed biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, placing them seam-side down to ensure they remain closed during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. The filling will be very hot, so allow them to rest briefly.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuits immediately.
Tips
- Bacon Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of bacon, such as turkey bacon or even prosciutto, for a unique flavor twist.
- Egg Cooking Style: If you prefer your eggs cooked differently, try scrambling them or making them over-easy for a different texture.
- Cheese Choices: While cheddar cheese is a classic, consider using pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling the night before and assemble the biscuits in the morning for a quicker breakfast option.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad to balance out the richness of the biscuits.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for the best texture.
- Baking Sheet Prep: Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to mastering these delicious Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuits!
