Ingredients You’ll Need (Simple, Pantry-Friendly)
Before we dive into the step-by-step recipe, here’s what you’ll need to gather:
For the Biscuit Dough:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk with a splash of lemon juice)
For the Filling:
• 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 4 large eggs, scrambled soft
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional but highly recommended)
Step-by-Step: How to Make Bacon Egg and Cheesy Biscuits
1. Cook the Bacon First
Start by frying your bacon until it’s perfectly crisp. Let it cool on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
2. Scramble the Eggs Softly
Whisk the eggs and cook them on medium-low heat, gently stirring until they’re just set. You want them a little underdone so they stay soft during baking.
3. Make the Biscuit Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together.
Pro Tip: Don’t overmix the dough—this is the secret to fluffy biscuits!
4. Fold in the Good Stuff
Gently fold in the scrambled eggs, bacon crumbles, shredded cheese, and chives if using. The dough will be chunky, and that’s exactly what you want.
5. Shape and Bake
Using your hands or a large cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave some space between each biscuit.
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15–18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Make-Ahead and Freezer Tips
Want to save time during busy mornings? These biscuits freeze beautifully.
• To freeze raw: After shaping the dough, place biscuits on a tray and freeze until solid. Then store in a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes to baking time.
• To freeze baked: Let the biscuits cool, wrap individually, and freeze. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
