Well, hello there, early birds and brunch lovers! Are you looking for a decadent twist on a classic breakfast staple? Look no further! Today, we’re upping our breakfast game with some mouth-watering Stuffed Bacon and Cheese Biscuits. Imagine this – tender, flaky biscuits bursting with melted cheese and crispy bacon. Sounds dreamy, doesn’t it?
These irresistible gems are the perfect breakfast or brunch treat, sure to please everyone at the table. The salty, smoky bacon, paired with the gooey, melted cheese, all encased in a warm, buttery biscuit, creates an explosion of flavors that will have you coming back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!).
Let’s gather our ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Ready to bake? Here’s what we do:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon, mixing just enough to distribute them evenly through the dough.
- On a floured surface, roll out your dough to about 1-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out your biscuits and place them onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until your biscuits are golden brown.
- Allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before moving them to a cooling rack.
And there you have it! Your Stuffed Bacon and Cheese Biscuits are ready to steal the show at your breakfast or brunch table. Serve them hot, alongside your favorite eggs or a fresh fruit salad, and watch as they disappear in no time. Happy baking and even happier eating, my friends!
