Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease 10 muffin cups.
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, milk, and eggs on low speed until smooth.
- Stir in Swiss cheese and green onions.
- Separate the biscuit dough into 10 biscuits.
- Place biscuits in the prepared muffin cups.
- Firmly press each biscuit into the bottom of the cups.
- Place half of the crumbled bacon into each muffin cup.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture over the bacon in each cup.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 21 to 26 minutes until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using different cheeses like cheddar or gouda in place of Swiss cheese. If you want a lighter version, you can substitute the cream cheese with a low-fat version or Greek yogurt. Make sure to press the biscuit dough firmly into the muffin cups to prevent them from shrinking during baking. Also, for a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and consider adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach instead.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Bacon Quiche Biscuit Cups warm as a delightful breakfast or brunch dish. They pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or a side of fruit for a balanced meal. For a heartier option, consider serving alongside some crispy hash browns. These quiche cups also make for an excellent appetizer at gatherings or picnics.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the quiche cups in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 30-45 seconds, but the oven method will keep the biscuit crust crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of meat in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the bacon with cooked sausage, ham, or even diced turkey. For a vegetarian twist, consider adding vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini instead. Just ensure that whatever meat or veggie you choose is cooked before adding it to the muffin cups.
Can I prepare the quiche cups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit cups and the egg mixture separately in advance. Assemble them in the muffin tins and cover with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for up to 12 hours before baking. This makes it easy to have a delicious breakfast ready to go in the morning.
How do I know when the quiche cups are done baking?
The quiche cups are done when they are golden brown on top and the egg mixture is set. You can insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they are ready. Be careful not to overbake them, as this can lead to a dry texture.
