| Eggs | Fresh large eggs serve as the custardy base of this dish. Crack them separately to ensure freshness. |
| Sharp Cheddar Cheese | Adds a rich, bold flavor. Other options include mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for a unique twist. |
| Bacon | High-quality, crispy bacon adds the perfect crunch. Turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon can also be used for healthier or meatless variations. |

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Bake

- Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or a non-stick spray to prevent sticking. - Arrange the Biscuits
Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and evenly distribute them across the prepared baking dish. The biscuits will puff up during baking, creating a fluffy and satisfying base.

- Create the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then season with salt and pepper to taste. This mixture will hold the bake together and provide a rich, creamy texture.
- Create the Egg Mixture
- Assemble the Bake
Pour the egg mixture over the biscuits, ensuring they’re well-coated. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top, letting it meld with the eggs and biscuits. Crumble the cooked bacon and distribute it evenly over the cheese layer. - Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set, and the top has a beautiful golden-brown finish. If desired, broil for the last few minutes to add a crispy layer to the top.
