Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can Grands biscuits (8 large biscuits)
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded or sliced
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it’s at the right temperature for even baking of the casserole.
- Prepare Biscuit Base: Cut the Grands biscuits into 4 pieces each, then evenly spread these biscuit pieces over the bottom of a 9×13 inch casserole dish. Scatter the small cubes of cream cheese evenly over the biscuit pieces to add creamy pockets throughout.
- Mix Egg Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This will create a rich custard that sets around the biscuits.
- Combine and Top: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit and cream cheese base in the casserole dish. Next, spread the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top, then sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon over everything for a savory finish.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are fully cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly. Serve warm for a comforting breakfast dish.
Notes
