Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Bacon

  • 5 Eggs (Scrambled)
  • 1 Pound Bacon (Diced and Cooked Crisp)

Biscuit Dough

  • 2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 1/3 Cups Milk
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter (Melted, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a large baking sheet using non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside for later.
  2. Cook the bacon: Dice the bacon into small pieces and cook it over medium heat until it is slightly crisp. This adds texture and flavor to the biscuits.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Whisk the eggs and cook them gently until scrambled and fully cooked. These will be mixed into the biscuit dough.
  4. Prepare the biscuit mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper thoroughly. Then fold in the cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and scrambled eggs to evenly distribute all the flavorful ingredients.
  5. Add the milk: Pour in the milk and stir until the dough comes together. The mixture will be sticky but cohesive, perfect for dropping onto the baking sheet.
  6. Form the biscuits: Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet to form individual biscuits.
  7. Bake: Place the biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops turn a light golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
  8. Brush with butter: Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a rich finish and shiny appearance.
  9. Serve or store: Serve the biscuits warm right away, or let them cool and store in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days to enjoy later.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute cheddar with your favorite cheese such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • These biscuits can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast the next day.
  • Make sure the bacon is cooked just until crisp to retain some chewiness inside the biscuit.
  • For extra flaky biscuits, avoid overmixing the dough once the wet and dry ingredients are combined.
  • You can add chopped green onions or herbs to the dough for an additional fresh flavor dimension.
