Ingredients
Scale
Primary Protein Ingredients:
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Base and Garnish Ingredients:
- 1 (16.3 oz/460 g) can refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by coating a 9×13-inch dish with butter or nonstick spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Transform refrigerated biscuits into bite-sized morsels by quartering each piece, then distribute them uniformly across the greased baking surface.
- Render bacon to crispy perfection in a skillet, allowing excess fat to drain on absorbent paper towels. Crush the cooled strips into delicate fragments.
- Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper until thoroughly combined. Gently cook the mixture in a nonstick pan, creating soft, pillowy scrambled eggs that will continue developing in the oven.
- Construct layers by spreading the scrambled eggs evenly over the biscuit pieces, creating a uniform base. Generously sprinkle crumbled bacon across the surface.
- Shower the casserole with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor and melty texture.
- Transfer the assembled dish to a preheated 350°F oven, allowing it to bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuits turn golden and the cheese becomes gloriously molten.
- Extract from the oven and optionally garnish with finely chopped chives or green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve immediately while warm and irresistible.
Notes
- Ensure your bacon is extra crispy by cooking it slowly over medium-low heat, allowing it to render fat evenly and achieve a perfect crunch that adds incredible texture to the bake.
- Avoid overscrambling eggs by removing them from heat when they’re still slightly wet, as they’ll continue cooking in the oven and prevent dry, rubbery texture.
- Swap out traditional biscuits with gluten-free options or use hash browns for a low-carb alternative that maintains the dish’s hearty breakfast feel.
- Elevate the flavor profile by experimenting with different cheese combinations like pepper jack for heat or smoked gouda for a deeper, more complex taste that will make this breakfast bake unforgettable.
