Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Fillings
- 5 eggs, scrambled
- 1 pound bacon, diced and cooked crisp
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a large baking sheet by greasing it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cook Bacon: Dice the bacon into small pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until slightly crisp. Drain and set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, scramble the eggs until fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Add Fillings: Fold the cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and scrambled eggs into the flour mixture. Mix gently to incorporate without overmixing.
- Add Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until a biscuit dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape Biscuits: Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop the biscuit dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn lightly golden brown on top.
- Brush with Butter: Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy, flavorful finish.
- Serve or Store: Serve the loaded breakfast biscuits warm for best taste, or allow to cool and store in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cook bacon until very crisp before mixing into the dough.
- Use cold milk to help create a flakier biscuit texture.
- These biscuits can be reheated in a toaster oven or microwave for a quick breakfast.
- Customize by adding chopped green onions or different cheeses for varied flavor.
- To make ahead, prepare the dough, freeze biscuit portions on a tray, then bake fresh when needed.
