Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper until they are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, shredded cheese, cooked bacon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Make sure to mix well.
4
After the sautéed vegetables have cooled, gently fold them into the egg mixture. Be careful not to stir in hot vegetables directly, as that can begin to cook the eggs.
5
Open the package of Pillsbury Grands biscuits and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces and add them to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
6
Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is nicely browned and the biscuit pieces are fully cooked. You can check by gently prying apart a biscuit piece to ensure it is not still doughy.
8
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve warm and enjoy your savory breakfast!
