This dish features a biscuit base loaded with cheese and garlic, topped with a creamy blend of eggs, milk, bacon, and additional cheese, making it perfect for brunch or a hearty breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mixture:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

For the Egg Mixture:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 strips turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Biscuit Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Add the buttermilk and mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Form Biscuit Base: Spread the biscuit dough evenly into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish or similar size casserole dish, pressing it down to form an even base layer.
  3. Pre-bake Biscuit Base: Bake the biscuit base in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes or until it is just set and slightly golden around the edges.
  4. Mix Egg Mixture: While the biscuit base is baking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and onion powder in a bowl. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked crumbled turkey bacon, and chopped green onions if using.
  5. Assemble Casserole: Once the biscuit base is pre-baked, carefully pour the egg mixture over the biscuit layer, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Bake Final Dish: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the egg mixture is fully set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm for a delicious, cheesy breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for the biscuit mixture to ensure a flaky texture.
  • Buttermilk can be substituted with milk plus a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Turkey bacon can be replaced with regular bacon or omit for a vegetarian version.
  • Green onions are optional but add a nice fresh flavor.
  • For a crispier biscuit base, bake the mixture slightly longer before adding the egg mixture.
