Breakfast bake

Check out this breakfast bake in the hospitality set my sister in law made. She said its easy....1 egg whisked with 2 tablespoons milk. Cut the biscuits into quarters (I used 2 packages of grands) coat the biscuits with the egg mixture. Add bacon (I used 12 strips of the precooked stuff) I heated it and cut up with my kitchen shears. Added 3/4 cup of cheese and mixed it all together. Add green peppers and onions if desired and serve with sour cream if you'd like. Baked it for 26 minutes @ 350*
