Ingredients

  • 7 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 16-ounce package refrigerated flaky biscuit dough, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 6 –8 slices bacon cooked, drained, and cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk.
  • Add biscuit pieces, cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon to the bowl.
  • Gently toss the mixture to coat all ingredients evenly.
  • Pour everything into the prepared casserole dish.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the biscuits are puffy and golden.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Substitute bacon with cooked sausage, ham, turkey bacon, or veggie bacon.
  • Use Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack instead of cheddar.
  • Add sautéed peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and color.

Make-Ahead Tips

  • Cook bacon and chop onions the night before.
  • Cut the biscuit dough ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container.
  • Mix everything except biscuits ahead; add biscuits right before baking.

Serving Variations

  • Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or gravy for extra richness.
  • Add a side of fruit salad for a balanced holiday breakfast.
  • Customize with seasonal flavors like leftover Christmas ham or smoked turkey.

Avoid Mistakes

  • Don’t overmix or the biscuits may break apart.
  • Avoid overbaking—the casserole should be golden, not dry.
  • Ensure bacon is fully cooked before adding to avoid sogginess.
