Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit Casserole
Refrigerated biscuit pieces, eggs, cheddar and crisp bacon bake into an easy breakfast casserole that serves eight in about 50 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 6-8 strips crispy cooked bacon crumbled
- 1/2 cup milk
- 6 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 16.3 oz, 8 biscuits
- chopped green onions optional, for garnish
- hot sauce optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Open the biscuit dough can and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Spread them evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- If not already cooked, cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the crumbled bacon and 1 cup of shredded cheddar, reserving a little cheese for the top.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and the center of the egg mixture reaches 160°F (71°C) on a food thermometer.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and hot sauce if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the egg mixture.
