Bacon Bread
This Bacon Bread is ridiculously easy and scrumptious! It's quick and satisfying breakfast, lunch, or dinner the whole family adores.
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 16 ounces refrigerated buttermilk biscuits , from tube*
- 1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded, or cheddar-jack cheese
- ¼ cup red bell peppers, chopped
- 8 slices thick bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Grease a 9x13 glass or ceramic baking pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper to combine well. Set aside.
- Open can of biscuits, separate the biscuits, and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place biscuit quarters into bowl of egg mixture and toss to coat well.
- Transfer into prepared baking dish, evenly in a single layer. Top with cheese, bell peppers, and bacon.
- Bake 25-35 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden - tent loosely with foil during last 10 minutes of baking, if cheese starts browning too quickly.
- Garnish with green onions and serve while warm.
Notes
- I use Trader Joe's All Natural refrigerated biscuits. You can use your favorite brand.
- Cut the biscuits into quarters so they bake up light, fluffy, and easy to pull apart. Smaller pieces let the egg mixture soak in evenly.
- Make sure the bacon is fully cooked and nicely crisp before adding it. This keeps it from getting chewy or greasy in the bread.
- Layer the cheese, peppers, and bacon generously over the top for even flavor in every bite. Don’t skimp on the toppings.
- Check the bread around the 25-minute mark. If the cheese is browning too fast, loosely tent with foil so it doesn’t burn before the biscuits finish baking.

- We love pairing this cheesy bacon bread with make-ahead favorites like Overnight Breakfast Casserole or a slice of Crustless Quiche.
