Equipment

  • Medium bowl

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 8 biscuits
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Oven and Dish: First things first, let's get that oven preheating to 350°F (175°C). While it's warming up, grab your favorite 9x13 inch baking dish and give it a little grease. This will prevent any sticking, so you can enjoy every last bite.
  • Biscuit Cups: Here’s the fun part! Take your can of biscuit dough. Gently separate each biscuit. Now, place each biscuit into the cups of a muffin tin. Use your fingers to press the dough down into the bottom and then up the sides of each cup, creating little edible bowls. Think of them as cozy little nests for our eggs!

  • Whisk Those Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack all 8 eggs. Give them a good whisk until they’re nicely combined and a little frothy. You want them all mixed up and ready for their starring role.

  • Fill the Nests: Carefully pour the whisked eggs evenly into each of those biscuit cups you made. Don't worry if they don't fill them to the brim; they'll puff up as they bake.

  • Cheese, Please!: Now, generously sprinkle that shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the eggs in each biscuit cup. This is where the gooey, melty perfection comes from!

  • Bake to Golden Perfection: Pop that muffin tin into your preheated oven. Let them bake for about 20-25 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the eggs are set (no more jiggling!) and the edges of those biscuit cups are a beautiful, golden brown.
  • A Moment to Relax: Once they're out of the oven, resist the urge to dive in immediately! Let them cool slightly for a few minutes. This makes them easier to handle and allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.

Notes

This recipe can be prepped ahead of time by preparing the biscuit cups and whisking eggs the night before. For a larger casserole, press torn biscuit pieces into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch dish to form a crust.
