Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the biscuit cups.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough. Separate each biscuit and gently press each one into the prepared muffin cups, pushing the dough up the sides to create a cup-like shape. The dough should cover the bottom and sides of each muffin cavity.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly among the biscuit-lined muffin cups, distributing it across the bottom of each cup.
- Divide the shredded cheese equally among the muffin cups, sprinkling it over the bacon.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into each biscuit cup, filling each about 3/4 full. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spillage during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is set and the biscuit edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuit cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes. This will help them set and make removal easier.
- Use a butter knife or small spatula to gently loosen the edges of each biscuit cup, then carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Bacon Quiche Biscuit Cups as a delightful breakfast or brunch dish.
Tips
- Bacon Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of bacon, such as turkey bacon or even pancetta, for a unique twist on the classic flavor.
- Cheese Choices: While shredded cheese is a must, you can mix it up with your favorites—try pepper jack for a spicy kick or feta for a tangy flavor.
- Add Veggies: For extra nutrition and flavor, consider adding diced vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the egg mixture.
- Don’t Overfill: When pouring the egg mixture into the biscuit cups, be cautious not to overfill them. This will help prevent any spillage during baking.
- Cooling Time: Allow the cups to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them. This helps them set properly and makes for easier removal.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling and biscuit cups in advance. Just assemble and bake them fresh when you’re ready to serve!
- Serving Suggestions: These quiche cups pair wonderfully with fresh fruit or a light salad, making them a complete meal that's perfect for any occasion.
