👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Directions

🔹 1. Preheat & Prep

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Grease a 9×12-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

🔹 2. Make the Biscuit Crust

1. Separate the biscuits and press them evenly into the bottom of the baking dish, flattening with your fingers to cover the surface.

2. Bake the crust alone for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.

3. Remove from oven and set aside while you prepare the filling.

🔹 3. Cook the Filling

1. In a skillet, cook ham, sausage, or bacon until browned.

2. Add bell peppers and onions, cooking until softened (about 3–4 minutes).

3. Set aside to cool slightly.

🔹 4. Mix the Eggs

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

   • 9 eggs

   • ½ cup milk or water

   • Salt and black pepper

2. Whisk until the eggs are smooth and evenly combined.

🔹 5. Assemble the Bake

1. Evenly spread the cooked meat and veggies over the baked biscuit crust.

2. Pour the egg mixture over the top, making sure it fills the corners.

3. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the surface.

🔹 6. Bake & Finish

1. Place the dish back in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until:

   • The eggs are fully set (no jiggle in the center).

   • The top is golden and slightly puffed.

2. Remove and let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing.

🔹 7. Serve

Slice into squares and serve warm for breakfast or brunch. Pairs perfectly with fruit salad, coffee, or even a drizzle of hot sauce.
