Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup diced bell peppers (a mix of red and green for color)

1 cup diced cooked ham or cooked bacon (optional, for added protein)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika (for a touch of warmth)

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (choose flaky or buttermilk variety)

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (for garnish)

Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a 9x13-inch baking dish and generously grease it with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them vigorously. Next, incorporate the 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika into the eggs, whisking until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Gently fold in the 1 cup of diced bell peppers and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, keeping a small handful of cheese aside for topping.

      Cook the Egg Mixture: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and apply a light layer of cooking spray or butter. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Avoid overcooking, as you want the eggs to remain fluffy. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.

        Prepare the Biscuit Base: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to make smaller, manageable pieces. Distribute the biscuit quarters evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating a layer.

          Layer the Egg Mixture: Pour the scrambles fluffy eggs evenly over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish. If desired, sprinkle the diced ham or bacon evenly across the eggs for added flavor. Lastly, utilize the reserved cheddar cheese to sprinkle over the top for a delightful cheesy crust.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The bake is ready when the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the egg layer is fully set.

              Garnish and Serve: Once removed from the oven, allow the bake to cool slightly before slicing. Sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the top for a burst of color and flavor. Cut into squares and serve warm for a cozy breakfast or brunch dish.
