Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup (50 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 (16.3 oz/460 g) can refrigerated biscuit dough (Pillsbury Grands)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsps chives or green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep Dish: Thoroughly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent adherence.
- Biscuit Base: Quarter refrigerated biscuits and distribute evenly across the greased surface, creating a foundational layer.
- Bacon Preparation: Crisp bacon in a skillet, drain excess fat on paper towels, then crumble into fine pieces.
- Egg Mixture: Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper. Gently scramble in a nonstick pan until just set, maintaining a soft texture.
- Layer Assembly: Spread scrambled eggs uniformly over biscuit pieces, then generously scatter crumbled bacon across the surface.
- Cheese Topping: Blanket the casserole with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Baking Process: Slide the assembled dish into a preheated 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes until biscuits turn golden and cheese melts completely.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven, optionally garnish with chopped chives or green onions, and serve hot for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Biscuits: Pat biscuit pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispy texture during baking.
- Bacon Crisp Control: Cook bacon until extra crispy, as it will soften slightly during the baking process, maintaining a satisfying crunch.
- Egg Consistency Hack: Slightly undercook scrambled eggs before baking, as they’ll continue cooking in the oven, preventing dry, rubbery texture.
- Cheese Melting Tip: Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow cheese to set and flavors to meld, creating a more cohesive casserole.
