Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Original Biscuits (8 Count)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (6 oz)
  • 1 package (2.52 oz) precooked bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 cup finely sliced green onions (4 medium)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan generously with cooking spray; set aside. In 8-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat; tilt pan to coat. Add eggs. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until firm but still moist, stirring frequently.
  • 2
    In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 3 tablespoons butter uncovered on Medium-High (70%) 30 to 45 seconds or until melted. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter to bottom of pan, brushing with pastry brush or tilting pan to coat halfway up sides. Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut each into sixths. Coat biscuit pieces with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter; place half of them in bottom of pan. Layer with 1/2 cup of the cheese, half of the bacon, the scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup of the cheese and the green onions; add remaining bacon, remaining 1/2 cup cheese and remaining biscuit pieces.

    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; run metal spatula around outer and inside edges of pan to loosen. Turn over onto serving platter to serve.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Guarantee success by generously spraying pan with cooking spray and buttering biscuit dough as well as the pan bottom before baking. This will help ensure a nonstick release when it’s time to serve to guests.
  • tip 2
    Serve with a side of maple syrup to add a bit of sweet to this savory breakfast.
  • tip 3
    Find packages of precooked bacon in your grocer’s refrigerated aisle, next to the uncooked bacon.
