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
- Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then fold in the shredded cheddar and buttermilk until a soft dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the biscuit base.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and onion powder until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled turkey bacon, and chopped green onions if using.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit base in the baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the layers to set for easy portioning.
Notes
- Use cold butter for the biscuit dough to achieve a flaky texture.
- Substitute turkey bacon with regular bacon or a vegetarian alternative if preferred.
- Green onions are optional but add a fresh, mild onion flavor.
- Ensure eggs are fully set before removing from the oven to avoid runny texture.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenience.
