Bacon and Egg Biscuit Casserole
This Bacon and Egg Biscuit Casserole is the perfect holiday breakfast if I do say so myself! It’s simple to make and you can even do some of the prep work ahead to save time. It’s delicious with simple ingredients that everyone loves. Most importantly, this recipe is well-loved. My family could not stop raving about how good it was.
I’m all about easy recipes with common ingredients that everyone can find. You probably have most of the ingredients in your fridge right now. It’s the type of recipe that you can throw together when company pops over unexpectedly. It’s the holidays so that happens often in my home and I don’t mind one bit! The more, the merrier.
We love bacon and eggs for breakfast here, but I wanted to try something a little different. Bacon and Egg Biscuit Casserole fits the bill. It has the familiar breakfast flavours we enjoy, but with a little extra oomph with the addition of golden, flaky biscuits. Yummy!
What I love about this recipe the most, besides the mouthwatering, drool-worthy taste, is how much time it saves me from having to prepare a huge, elaborate breakfast. I like to prepare everything before I go to bed. I’ll cook the bacon (fry it or put it in the oven) and then mix up all the ingredients. Store the casserole dish, uncooked and covered, in the fridge until you are ready to bake in the morning. Then when you wake up all you need to do is pop it in the oven.

Why Enjoy Eggs This Holiday Season
It’s an understatement to say that we eat A LOT of eggs in our home. I typically go through a couple cartons a week. I include eggs in quite a few of our meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eggs are yummy in breakfast casseroles like this one, frittatas, sandwiches, rice, salads and so much more.
When you serve eggs to your family, you are also supporting the Canadian egg farmers. Not only do they provide us with fresh eggs that a great source of protein, but they also give to our local communities in other ways.
Canadian egg farmers are big supporters of Food Banks Canada and donate more than 1.4 million eggs each year to local food banks. They’ve partnered together for more than two decades. I think it’s wonderful how they give back to the community helping people who are struggling. I try to donate to our local food bank all year long when I can. It’s a cause that I believe in, too.
Did you know that food banks in Canada have more than a million visits each month? And that 1 in 3 people that food banks help are children and youth? It’s a worthy cause to support and it’s great to see that the egg farmers in Canada helping out.

This looks very delicious. Thank you for sharing your gift and love cooking.
this is simply delicious. I have made at least 3 times now and fabulous each time. And incredibly easy. I also have cut the recipe in half when its just my husband and I and eat for a couple days… I also usually add to the ingredients. yesterday I sauteed diced onions, bell peppers and potatoes until solftened along with .5lb of cooked ground breakfast sausage … i put that in the pan first and then added the egg/biscuit mixture. SO GOOD! thanks for this recipe its a winner everytime!
What refrigerated biscuit dough comes in 340g? I can’t find any any in that size.
I’m in Canada so our sizes are different. In the USA, it would be the 8ct 16oz size like this https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pillsbury-Grands-Flaky-Layers-Refrigerated-Biscuits-Buttermilk-8-ct-16-oz/10319369?from=/search
I’m confused on putting the dough in the mixture? Could you not just put the biscuits down on the pan and pour the mixture over it?
You can do it that way too. I like to make sure all sides are covered so I mix it in.
Recipe says cream. Would that be heavy cream or light cream or half and half? Thanks.
Any would work. I usually stick to half and half cream.
I didn’t see anything about cutting the biscuits?
In the recipe card ingredients section, it says to cut into quarters.
Thank you for answering my previous comment. I did not add the green onions. It tasted like a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit from McDonald’s.
