Texas Baked Biscuits

Original recipe found here.

I made these this morning and they were so delicious. Only a couple things I would've done differently.

Ingredients

1 tube Texas-style refrigerated biscuit dough

8 eggs

1/2 cup real bacon bits

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated *I used colby jack

diced scallions *I didn't use these

salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.   Open the tube of biscuits, and press one biscuit round into the muffin tin. I flattened them out a bit first. Press against the bottom and sides of pan.

 Crack an egg into the cup. I use large eggs, and apparently they were too large because the egg whites started dripping out.

 To prevent them from going everywhere, I separated the yolks from the whites and just added the yolks in. You can separate them by cracking the egg in half, and over a bowl, pass the yolk between the shells, and let the whites fall into a bowl.

 

I tried adding some whites in with the yolks later, and that just created a big mess.  

 Use a generous amount of salt and pepper on the eggs. Add in shredded cheese and bacon pieces.

 

Put in oven and back for about 15 minutes. I cooked 15 minutes exactly, but next time I'm going to keep them in longer. My family doesn't like runny yolks, and in most of these, they turned out very runny. Remove from oven, serve, and enjoy!
