Equipment
- 9x13 baking pan
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Glass meal prep containers with snap lids
- Oven
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits 10-count, Pillsbury or equivalent
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup real bacon bits pre-cooked
- 1/2 cup baby spinach finely chopped
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese cheddar or gruyere
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 pan thoroughly, including the sides.
- Press the biscuit dough pieces flat and lay them across the bottom of the pan, pinching seams together to form an even base.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in the bacon bits and chopped spinach, then pour the mixture evenly over the biscuit base.
- Scatter the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, until the center is set (no jiggle) and the top is golden.
- Cool completely on the counter before cutting. Do not skip this step for best texture and food safety.
- Cut into 6 equal squares and portion into individual containers. Label with the date.
Notes
- Storage: Refrigerate in individual glass containers for up to 4 days. Do not leave at room temperature longer than 2 hours after baking. For freezing, wrap each square in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Reheating: Microwave 60–75 seconds covered with a damp paper towel. Oven method: 325°F for about 10 minutes for multiple portions. Air fryer: 325°F for 4–5 minutes for a crisper biscuit base.
- Meal prep tips: Let the bake cool completely before slicing and lidding to prevent soggy bottoms and condensation. Cut into 6 portions and use glass snap-lid containers. Label each with the date.
- Variations: Swap turkey bacon 1:1 for a lighter, lower-sodium version. Add sautéed, well-drained mushrooms with the spinach for extra flavor. For a low-carb option, skip the biscuit base and bake as a crustless frittata-style casserole.
- Serving ideas: Pack with a piece of fresh fruit, a small container of hot sauce, or sliced avocado (tossed with lemon juice) mid-week.
- Anti-waste tip: If a piece is dry by day four, crumble it into a skillet with a little butter, add one extra egg, and cook as a loaded hash.
