Bacon, Egg & Cheese Stuffed Skillet Biscuit

Servings : 10-12

Prep Time : 20 minutes

Bake Time : 20-25 minutes

Ingredients

4 cups (560g) 1:1 gluten-free flour, See Recipe Notes

2 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried parsley

3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

3 cups shredded sharp cheddar

1 cup unsalted butter, melted then cooled 5 mins

2 cups cold buttermilk

1 heaping cup chopped cooked bacon, about 6 slices

6 large eggs, soft scrambled

For the Maple Butter Topping

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup melted salted butter

Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease a 12 inch cast iron skillet with butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, parsley and smoked paprika. Then stir in 2 cups of the shredded cheese and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and melted butter until small lumps form. Pour the buttermilk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together gently until a soft dough has formed. Be careful not to over mix the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Press one portion of the dough into the prepared skillet. Top with the scrambled eggs, followed by the bacon and then the final cup of shredded cheese. Gently press the remaining portion of dough over the shredded cheese.
Transfer to the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until it is golden brown on top and around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. While the biscuit is baking prepare the maple butter. Combine the maple syrup and melted butter in a small bowl.
Once the biscuit comes out of the oven, immediately drizzle on the maple butter. Let the biscuit cool in the skillet for about 15-20 minutes before cutting into slices and serving.

I recommend using Cup4Cup multi-purpose gluten-free flour in this recipe for the best results.
