Ingredients
Scale
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
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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder thoroughly to combine.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Buttermilk: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and buttermilk until a soft dough forms, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Press into Dish: Press the cheddar bay biscuit dough evenly into the greased 9×13-inch baking dish to create the biscuit base layer.
- Whisk Eggs and Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and onion powder until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Add Cheese, Bacon, and Green Onions: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cooked turkey bacon, and chopped green onions if using, ensuring an even distribution.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit base layer in the baking dish to assemble the casserole.
- Bake: Bake the assembled casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top turns a golden brown color.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Use cold butter to achieve the perfect biscuit texture.
- Turkey bacon can be substituted with regular bacon or sausage for variation.
- Green onions are optional but add a fresh flavor boost.
- Make sure the eggs are fully set before removing from the oven to avoid runny texture.
- Serve with ketchup or hot sauce for extra flavor, if desired.
