Ingredients Notes For Stuffed Bacon and Cheese Biscuits:

• Biscuit Dough: You can use your favorite homemade biscuit dough recipe or opt for convenience with pre-made refrigerated biscuit dough.
• Bacon: Cooked until crispy and then chopped. For a lighter version, turkey bacon is a great alternative.
• Cheese: Sharp cheddar cheese provides a nice contrast to the bacon, but feel free to experiment with other types like mozzarella, pepper jack, or Gouda for different flavor profiles.
• Egg Wash: A light brushing of beaten egg on the biscuit dough before baking adds a beautiful golden sheen.

Recipe Steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: Cook the bacon until crispy, drain, chop, and mix with shredded cheese in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Assemble the Biscuits: Roll out the biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Place a spoonful of the bacon-cheese mixture in the center of half the dough circles. Top with another dough circle and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
3. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the top of each stuffed biscuit with beaten egg to ensure a golden brown finish.
4. Bake: Preheat your oven according to your biscuit dough recipe or package instructions. Bake the biscuits until they are golden and puffed up, approximately 12-15 minutes.
5. Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm.

Storage Options:

• Refrigerate: Keep any leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
• Freeze: Freeze baked or unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Ingredients

 

• ▢ 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ▢ 1 teaspoon sugar
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
• ▢ 3/4 cup milk
• ▢ 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
• ▢ 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ▢ Additional melted butter for brushing optional

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Make the Dough:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Add Bacon and Cheese:

• Fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the Biscuits:

• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
• Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds from the dough. Re-form the scraps into a rectangle to cut out additional biscuits.

Stuff the Biscuits:

• Take each biscuit round and slightly flatten it in your hand. Place a small amount of additional cheese (and bacon if desired) in the center, then fold the dough around the filling and seal it. Gently reshape it into a biscuit shape if needed. This step ensures each biscuit is stuffed with cheesy goodness.

Bake:

• Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
• Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with additional melted butter immediately after taking them out of the oven for extra flavor and a soft crust.

Serve Warm:

• Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
