Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 can frozen biscuits (5 flaky layer 6 oz can)
- 5 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil spray, for greasing ramekins
- Optional: chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and adjust the oven rack to the middle position for even cooking.
- Prepare ramekins: Spray five ramekins lightly with oil spray and place them onto a baking sheet to make handling easier.
- Shape biscuits: Take the refrigerated biscuits out of the can and flatten each one into a 4-5 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Line ramekins: Press each biscuit round into the bottom and up the sides of the ramekins, covering as much surface as possible to form a cup.
- Add eggs: Crack one egg into each biscuit-lined ramekin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake: Carefully transfer the baking sheet with ramekins to the oven’s middle rack. Bake until the eggs are set and the biscuit crust is golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the biscuit cups cool for a few minutes to firm up and to allow safe handling.
- Release and serve: Run a knife around the edges to release the biscuit cups from the ramekins gently. Serve warm, garnished with optional chopped parsley.
Notes
- You can add cheese, herbs, or cooked bacon inside the biscuit cups before adding the eggs for extra flavor.
- Use fresh eggs rather than older ones for best texture and appearance.
- Adjust baking time slightly if you prefer your yolks runnier or more set.
- To save time, prepare ramekins ahead and keep refrigerated until ready to bake.
- Use silicone ramekins or spray well to prevent sticking and ease release.
