Ingredients
Units
Scale
Meat
- 7-8 Slices Bacon
Egg Mixture
- 6 Eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 tbs Butter (for cooking eggs)
Biscuit Dough & Filling
- 1 package Pillsbury Grands Biscuits (8 count)
- 2-3 tbs All Purpose flour (for dusting work surface)
- 1.5 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 tbs Butter (melted, for brushing)
- 1 tbs Dried Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Place the bacon slices on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes or until they reach your desired crispiness. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they are slightly undercooked (still a bit runny). Remove from heat and set aside.
- Roll Out Biscuits: Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll each biscuit dough piece out to about a 5-inch diameter circle to create enough surface area for stuffing.
- Fill and Shape Biscuits: On each rolled biscuit, add a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by a spoonful of scrambled eggs and some crumbled bacon. Carefully fold and pinch the sides of the biscuit dough tightly to enclose the filling and roll them into balls.
- Bake the Stuffed Biscuits: Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed biscuits in a greased baking dish. Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon of melted butter, then sprinkle additional cheddar cheese and dried parsley on top if desired. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are slightly undercooked before stuffing, as they will continue cooking inside the biscuits.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other types like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a different flavor.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven; biscuits should be fully cooked and golden brown.
- For a spicy kick, add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Use fresh parsley if available for garnish instead of dried parsley for a fresher taste and appearance.
