I love savory breakfast foods. There’s nothing better than a satisfying, salty, delicious meal that involves bacon. Don’t get me wrong, I love pancakes and waffles, but if I have to choose between sweet and savory, then I go with savory. One of the best meals I had was with a friend who felt the same and so we each ordered our own savory course and then shared an order of pancakes for dessert. These biscuits are not healthy but they are very yummy and easy to make. I usually try to decrease the damage by using turkey bacon instead of pig bacon, but I can only imagine how delicious it would be with real bacon because pigs are delicious.
Servings: 12 biscuits
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, cubed
10 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
10 slices thick-cut bacon
1 cup onion, diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F and spray your muffin pan.
- Now there are two ways to do the next step, one healthier way, and one less healthy but more delicious way:
- Delicious: Fry the 10 slices of bacon in a skillet until crisp, remove the bacon and then use 1 tbsp of the leftover bacon grease to cook the 1 cup onion for about 5 minutes until onions are soft and browned.
- Healthier: Fry the 10 slices of bacon in a skillet or microwave it on a plate in between two paper towels according to package instructions. Wipe the pan clean, coat with cooking spray and then cook the 1 cup onion for about 5 minutes until onions are soft and browned.Remove onion from pan and chop the cooled bacon.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and ¾ tsp salt.
- Mix in the 4 tbsps of butter until combined and the mixture is crumbly. I usually just use my fingers to mash the butter in.
- In a small bowl whisk together 10 tbsps milk, 4 tbsps vegetable oil, and 1 egg.
- Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry mixture and mix until just combined.
- Add the bacon, onions, and 1 cup cheese and mix until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
