Biscuit Eggs Cups with Bacon and Cheese
Description
This recipe transforms refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough into a convenient vessel by flattening pairs of biscuits and pressing them into muffin tin cups to create a sturdy base. The dough cups are pre-lined with a bit of cheese and bacon before being filled with an egg and milk mixture seasoned with salt and pepper and scattered with sliced green onions. Baking at 400°F results in biscuit edges that are crisp and slightly risen, while the egg custard bakes through with a creamy texture, complemented by the savory bacon and melted cheese inside.
The recipe yields five biscuit egg muffin cups, perfect for a breakfast or brunch option that can be adapted with different cheeses or breakfast meats according to preference. Cooking the bacon beforehand ensures it adds a crispy texture and smoky flavor to the filling while preventing excess grease in the eggs. Filling the cups only two-thirds full allows room for the eggs to puff during baking without spilling over.
Serving these warm makes for a satisfying handheld breakfast option, ideal for feeding a small group or prepping ahead for busy mornings. The biscuit cup provides a flaky, buttery crust that contrasts the soft egg mixture inside.
Ingredients
- 1 tube buttermilk biscuit 10 biscuits, Grands Homestyle refrigerated
- 3 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- ¼-½ cup cheese shredded, more or less to taste
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
- 6 lices Bacon chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Grab a large muffin tin with 6 holes. Spray with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet cook your chopped bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towel. Set aside.
- In a small bowl combine milk and eggs with a whisk. Set aside.
- In the meantime grab your rolling pin and separate your biscuits into piles of 2 biscuits each. You will be making 5 muffins with this recipe. Roll each pile of 2 biscuits until they are totally flat and about ¼ inch thick.
- Place inside each hole in your prepared muffin pan. Press dough into the sides and bottom of each hole. Let dough hang over the top edge of each hole if there is extra.
- Place a pinch of cheese at the bottom of each hole on top of your dough. Place a pinch of bacon on top of your cheese.
- Next pour or scoop your egg mixture on top of each pile of bacon and cheese. Only fill your muffins up to between ⅔ and ¾ of the way up the side of the muffin hole or you will have a big mess to clean up! As the dough bakes it rises and the egg expands as it cooks. Everything will over flow if you are not careful.
- Sprinkle your green onions, extra bacon and cheese, if desired, on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Use a knife to loosen each muffin from the tin and serve immediately.
Notes
- Thoroughly spray the muffin tin to help the biscuit cups release easily after baking.
- Do not overfill the cups to avoid overflow since eggs expand while cooking.
- Use fully cooked bacon pieces to add texture and prevent excess moisture in the egg mixture.
- Feel free to customize with different cheeses or vegetables according to taste preferences.
