Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to biscuit package instructions.
- Cook bacon until crispy, then crumble and set aside.
- Separate the ready-made flaky dough biscuits into individual pieces.
- Mix minced onion, grated Swiss cheese, chopped tomato, garlic salt, and mayonnaise (if using) in a bowl.
- Add crumbled bacon to the mixture and stir well.
- Spoon or dollop the mixture onto each biscuit piece or incorporate into the dough as desired.
- Bake according to biscuit package instructions or until biscuits are golden and filling is heated through.
- Serve warm as a savory appetizer or snack.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding some herbs like chives or parsley to the filling mixture. If you don't have Swiss cheese, cheddar or pepper jack can be great substitutes. You can also use leftover cooked sausage instead of bacon for a different twist. Ensure the bacon is very crispy to maintain texture after baking.
Serving Suggestions
These bite-size bacon biscuits are perfect as a savory appetizer or snack. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad like Herbed Potato Salad or can be served alongside a hearty soup. For a more filling meal, serve them with a side of scrambled eggs or a fruit platter for a balanced brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. This helps maintain the biscuit's flaky texture rather than using a microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the biscuits just before baking to ensure they stay fresh and flaky. However, it's best to bake them on the same day for optimal taste and texture.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise?
If you're looking to avoid mayonnaise, Greek yogurt or sour cream can be great alternatives. They will add creaminess to the mixture while offering a slightly tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients well.
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked biscuits with filling for up to 2 months. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
