Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Bacon and Biscuit Breakfast Casserole.
Step 1
Start by heating a generous splash of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your cubed potatoes, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Sauté these little gems for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 4
When they’re perfectly cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside, letting them rest while you work on the next delicious layer.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add your bacon and let it sizzle over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Turn the pieces occasionally, allowing them to crisp up evenly for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once the bacon is beautifully browned, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess grease.
Step 8
Your kitchen will smell amazing at this point! Now, let’s get your oven ready.
Step 9
Preheat it to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom.
Step 10
Next, take each biscuit and cut it into four pieces.
Step 11
Spread these delightful biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking pan.
Step 12
On top of the biscuits, layer the golden potatoes you set aside earlier, followed by the crispy bacon.
Step 13
To finish this savory stack, sprinkle 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese generously over everything—because who doesn’t love cheese? In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until they’re well combined and frothy.
Step 14
Pour this creamy mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the baking pan, allowing it to seep into all the nooks and crannies.
Step 15
Now it’s time to bake! Place your creation in the preheated oven and let it bake for 20 minutes.
Step 16
After that, take it out and sprinkle the remaining 3 cups of Cheddar cheese on top.
Step 17
Pop it back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 18
Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 19
This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a cozy dinner.
Step 20
Enjoy every cheesy, crispy bite!.
