Ingredients

Scale
Breakfast Filling
- 7-8 Slices Bacon
- 6 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 Tablespoon Dried Parsley (optional)
Biscuit Dough
- 1 package Pillsbury Grands Biscuits, 8 count
- 2-3 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour, for dusting
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, divided
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Lay bacon slices on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20 minutes until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, then crumble it into small pieces.
- Prepare the Scrambled Eggs: Whisk eggs until combined. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, then add the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs until they are just slightly undercooked and still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Roll Out the Biscuits: Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll each biscuit dough piece out to about 5 inches in diameter to create a larger surface for filling.
- Fill the Biscuits: Place a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese onto each rolled biscuit, followed by a spoonful of the scrambled eggs and some crumbled bacon. Carefully roll the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching seams tightly to seal. Shape each filled biscuit into a ball.
- Prepare for Baking: Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish and place the stuffed biscuit balls inside, leaving some space between each one.
- Finish and Bake: Brush each biscuit ball with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top along with a light dusting of dried parsley if using. Bake in the 375°F oven for 30-35 minutes until the biscuits are fully cooked and golden brown on top.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- Make sure not to overcook the scrambled eggs before stuffing, as they will finish cooking inside the biscuits.
- These biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven.
- For easier rolling and sealing, chill the biscuit dough slightly before filling if it becomes too sticky.
