That sounds like a delicious breakfast-for-dinner! Cooking bacon the way your mom did brings back great memories. The flour coating method is a great trick for crispy, flavorful bacon with minimal shrinkage. Here’s a breakdown of your process along with the addition of biscuits and cheesy scrambled eggs to complete your meal:
Crispy Bacon with a Delicious Crust
Ingredients:
- Slices of bacon
- Flour (for coating)
- Tin foil (for easy cleanup)
Instructions:
- Prepare the bacon: Start by placing some flour in a Ziploc bag. Add your bacon slices to the bag and shake it well to coat them with the flour.
- Arrange on a baking sheet: After shaking off any excess flour, place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with tin foil.
- Bake the bacon: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bacon for about 10 minutes, then flip it over and bake for another 10 minutes or until it’s as crispy as you like. This method ensures the bacon cooks evenly with a golden, crispy crust and minimal shrinkage.
Fluffy Biscuits
Ingredients:
- Biscuit mix (or homemade dough if you prefer)
- Butter (optional, for brushing after baking)
Instructions:
- Prepare the dough: Follow the instructions on your biscuit mix package or roll out your homemade dough.
- Shape the biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut the dough into rounds.
- Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake according to the instructions (usually 10-12 minutes at 400°F or as per your recipe).
- Optional: Brush the top with melted butter for an extra golden touch after baking.
Cheesy Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- Butter or oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, beat your eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the eggs: In a skillet, heat some butter or oil over medium-low heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and cook slowly, stirring occasionally to create soft, fluffy curds.
- Add cheese: Once the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle in the cheese and continue to cook until it’s melted and the eggs are fully scrambled.
Putting It All Together
Serve the crispy bacon alongside the fluffy biscuits and cheesy scrambled eggs for a comforting, hearty breakfast-for-supper. Add a drizzle of honey or jam on the biscuits if you like a touch of sweetness to balance the savory flavors.
Enjoy your delicious meal! 😋
