Main Ingredients
- 7-8 slices bacon
- 6 eggs
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package Pillsbury Grands biscuits (8 count)
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, for dusting work surface
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lay the bacon slices on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes or until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Eggs: Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then pour in the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs gently until they’re slightly undercooked and still moist, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Roll Out the Biscuits: Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with 2-3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Roll each biscuit dough round out to approximately 5 inches in diameter, creating a larger flat surface to hold the filling.
- Fill and Seal the Biscuits: On each rolled biscuit, add a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, and some crumbled bacon. Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough inward, pinching the seams tightly to seal the fillings securely inside. Roll each sealed biscuit into a ball shape.
- Bake the Stuffed Biscuits: Lower the oven temperature to 375°F. Grease a baking dish and place the prepared biscuit balls inside. Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese and dried parsley over the top, if desired. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the biscuits are fully cooked through and golden brown on top.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs initially since they will continue cooking inside the biscuit during baking.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- For a crispier bacon, bake a few minutes longer but avoid burning.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add extra cheese or cooked vegetables.
- Use fresh parsley if available for a fresher garnish instead of dried parsley.
