Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces once cooled.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit can and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters and arrange them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon pieces uniformly over the biscuit pieces.
- Distribute the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bacon and biscuits.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until completely combined and smooth.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the biscuits, bacon, and cheese, ensuring it covers the entire surface and seeps between the biscuit pieces.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set and cool slightly.
- Cut into squares and serve warm, garnishing with additional chopped herbs or green onions if desired.
Tips
- Bacon Brilliance: For extra flavor, use thick-cut bacon and cook it until it's perfectly crisp. The crunchier, the better!
- Cheese Matters: Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheese varieties. Sharp cheddar works great, but try mixing in some pepper jack or gruyère for an unexpected twist.
- Make-Ahead Magic: You can prepare this casserole the night before and refrigerate. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
- Even Distribution is Key: When adding the egg mixture, pour slowly and ensure it seeps between all the biscuit pieces for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Let It Rest: Always allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking. This helps it set and makes cutting and serving much easier. Pro Tip: For a lighter version, you can use turkey bacon and low-fat milk without sacrificing flavor!
