Ingredients
Ready-to-bake refrigerated buttermilk flaky biscuits
1 (8 count) container (None)
Bacon
6 slices (Cook until crispy)
Large eggs
6 (Beat and scramble)
American cheese
5 slices (Tear into smaller pieces)
Dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon (None)
Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon (None)
Onion salt
1/4 teaspoon (None)
Pepper
1/8 teaspoon (To taste)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the underside of a standard cupcake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2
Take each piece of refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough and flatten it to about 1/4-inch thick with your hands or a rolling pin.
3
Flip the cupcake pan upside down and drape each flattened biscuit over the back of the cups. Press the dough down gently but firmly to shape it into bowls.
4
Bake the biscuit bowls in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Once done, remove the pan and let cool for about 5 minutes before carefully inverting the pans to release the biscuit bowls onto a baking sheet. Set aside.
5
In the meantime, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, which should take approximately 8 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Dispose of half the leftover grease in the pan.
6
Add the eggs to the remaining bacon grease in the skillet. Sprinkle with dried parsley, garlic powder, onion salt, and pepper. Cook the eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fully scrambled and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
7
Assemble the bowls by first dividing the scrambled eggs evenly among the biscuit bowls. Next, crumble the crispy bacon atop the eggs, followed by a slice or two of American cheese for that creamy goodness.
8
Return the filled bowls to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts beautifully.
9
Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of these delicious breakfast bowls!
