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

  1. 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. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and buttermilk until a soft dough forms. Press this dough evenly into the prepared baking dish to create the biscuit base.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and onion powder until fully combined. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cooked turkey bacon, and chopped green onions if using, ensuring an even distribution of all ingredients.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuit base in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to ensure a flaky biscuit base.
  • Turkey bacon can be substituted with regular bacon or sausage if preferred.
  • Green onions add a fresh flavor but are optional.
  • Can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenience.
  • Ensure eggs are fully set to avoid a runny casserole.
