Ingredients
Base
- 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray (for greasing the dish)
Meat
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Cheese
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cut Biscuit Dough: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarter-sized pieces to create bite-sized chunks for the base layer.
- Layer Biscuit and Bacon: Spread the biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the cooked, crumbled bacon evenly over the biscuits for a smoky foundation.
- Add Cheese: Evenly distribute shredded cheddar and mozzarella (or Monterey Jack) cheese atop the bacon and biscuit layers to add richness and melty texture.
- Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered biscuits, bacon, and cheese, allowing it to soak through all layers.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes until the biscuits are fully cooked and the top turns a golden brown, bubbling with melted cheese.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes after baking, helping it to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add diced onions or bell peppers to the egg mixture for added flavor and texture.
- Swap bacon with sausage or ham if preferred for a different meat option.
- If the top browns too quickly during baking, tent the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
