Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit Muffins cook evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or butter to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to make them easier to fit into the muffin tin.
- Press each flattened biscuit into the bottom and up the sides of the greased muffin tin, creating a small cup for the filling.
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour the egg, bacon, and cheese mixture evenly into each biscuit cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for expansion while baking.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of each muffin for an extra cheesy finish.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the eggs are set.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each muffin to help release them from the tin.
- Gently lift each Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit Muffin out of the tin and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious breakfast treat!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: If you're short on time in the morning, consider preparing the filling the night before. Just whisk the eggs, bacon, and cheese together and store it in the fridge. In the morning, simply assemble and bake!
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or even a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick. The possibilities are endless!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. They should be golden brown and the eggs should be fully set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Serving Suggestions: These muffins are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
- Storage: Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go!
