This unconventional quiche recipe takes canned biscuits and fills them with an egg, bacon and cheese mixture for these Bacon Quiche Biscuit Cups.
Sometimes you just need a special treat for breakfast. You know the kind – the kind that you definitely couldn’t eat daily (because it’s not good for you!) but the kind that you save for a special occasion where you really want something tasty. This is that kind of breakfast. Or dinner, in our case, since we eat breakfast for dinner more often than we eat breakfast for breakfast.
These cups are delicious, but oh-so-not-good for you. But they are great for a splurge, and really, you could probably change things around so that they aren’t packed with quite so many calories. And if you did that, they would be perfect for a breakfast on the go. You get your classic eggs and bacon breakfast, all rolled up in a biscuit cup!

I love breakfast food and unfortunately, my favorites are usually of the not-so-good-for-you variety. These will fit in perfectly! 🙂
