America has been in quarantine for what feels like forever; but in reality, it’s only been a month and a half. Working from home has been great with no commute and getting to wear sweatpants all day. But I felt like I was struggling with breakfast ideas during the week. Being at home makes me want the luxury spread of a weekend brunch everyday; but that isn’t ideal during the week.
This Bacon Egg Biscuit Bake helped curve my brunch craving. It tastes similar to a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit from McDonalds – so good! If you make in a casserole dish, it will make enough to last you the entire week. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge and only warm up the portion you are going to eat.
Some notes for you when making this recipe:
- I added 8 eggs to this bake and it formed a thin layer on the bottom on the biscuits. I suggest adding more eggs so it doesn’t seem like you are just eating bread.
- For this dish, I used an 8 count can of Pillsbury flaky layers biscuits. The bread to egg ratio was off using the bigger biscuits so I would say go for the generic store brand regular biscuits if you can. If you must use the Pillsbury Grands biscuits, then I would suggest using 6 biscuits in stead of 8.
- Feel free to add more bacon (or whatever meat you choose to add in)
