Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces vegetarian bacon strips
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces biscuits
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon or as needed vegetarian bacon substitute oil or spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven according to the biscuit package instructions. Bake biscuits until golden brown and fully cooked, typically 10-12 minutes. Once done, set aside to cool slightly.
While the biscuits are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it using vegetarian bacon substitute oil or spray.
Cook the vegetarian bacon strips according to package instructions in the skillet until crisp. This usually takes 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In the same skillet used for the bacon, reduce heat to low and melt the butter.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, ensuring eggs are scrambled to a soft set consistency. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
Once the eggs are cooked, split each biscuit in half crosswise. Layer the bottom half of each biscuit with one slice of cheese, a portion of the scrambled eggs, and one strip of vegetarian bacon (cut in half to fit if needed).
Top with the other half of the biscuit and serve warm.
