Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, milk, and eggs on low speed until smooth.
- Stir in Swiss cheese and chopped green onions; set aside.
- Separate the refrigerator flaky biscuits and press each into greased muffin cups to form a cup shape.
- Crisp the bacon slices until cooked through, then finely crumble.
- Divide crumbled bacon evenly among the biscuit cups.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the bacon in each biscuit cup.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and biscuits are golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure the cream cheese is very soft before mixing. If you want to add a twist, consider substituting the Swiss cheese with cheddar or pepper jack for extra flavor. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the egg mixture. If you prefer, use turkey bacon as a leaner option in this recipe.
Serving Suggestions
These bacon quiche biscuit cups make a delightful brunch dish, perfect when paired with a light salad like a Hidden Valley Salad or fresh fruit. Serve them warm, and consider adding a side of hash browns or a refreshing drink like iced tea to complete the meal. They are also great for potlucks or gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover quiche cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 30-60 seconds, but the oven method keeps the biscuits crispier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these quiche cups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit cups and fill them with the egg mixture in advance. Cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to serve, simply bake as directed. This makes them a convenient option for busy mornings.
What can I substitute for bacon in this recipe?
If you're looking for a meatless option, you can replace the bacon with cooked and crumbled sausage or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian twist. For a healthier alternative, try turkey bacon or even diced ham, which pairs well with the flavors of Swiss cheese.
How do I know when the quiche cups are done baking?
The quiche cups are done when the filling is set and the biscuits are golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Avoid overbaking to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
