Ingredients

Scale
Meats
- 10 slices bacon
Egg Mixture
- 10 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup finely sliced chives
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cheese & Biscuits
- 8 slices American cheese
- 1 (16.3-ounce) tube biscuit dough
Other
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat and bake bacon: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Stir in shredded mozzarella, finely sliced chives, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, mixing well.
- Assemble casserole: Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the prepared egg mixture into the dish. Lay the crispy bacon slices evenly over the egg mixture in a single layer. Place a slice of American cheese over each bacon strip. Then, place one biscuit on top of each slice of cheese. Brush the tops of the biscuits with some of the melted butter, reserving the remainder.
- Bake the casserole: Bake the assembled casserole in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the biscuits start to turn golden. Loosely cover the dish with foil and continue baking for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center is set and the biscuits are golden brown.
- Finish and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and uncover. Brush the biscuits with the remaining melted butter to give them a glossy, rich finish. Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a milder heat, omit the crushed red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute the American cheese with cheddar or your favorite melting cheese.
- Make sure the biscuits are placed evenly on top to ensure even baking.
- Allowing the casserole to cool slightly helps it set, making it easier to slice.
- Use a non-stick cooking spray or grease the dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
