Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Serving Size 8

Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • kosher salt + fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 cup cooked bacon crumbled
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • cups Gruyere cheese shredded (or comté or emmental)
  • 1 can Pillsbury Grands Flaky Biscuits or any brand that comes in 8 biscuits to a 16 oz can, as long as they are 'flaky'

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9"x5" loaf pan with a sheet of parchment, trimmed to fit from end to end. Let it hang over the long sides so you can lift the entire loaf out of the pan later.
  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and season with salt + pepper. Cook until golden and tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove them to a mixing bowl.
  • To the shallots, add fresh thyme, crumbled bacon and softened butter. Mix to combine.
  • Divide each biscuit into 2 thin layers (so you end up with 16). Spread 1 tbsp of the bacon mixture on each biscuit. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Stack 8 layers together and transfer to the loaf pan. Repeat with the remaining 8 layers. If there is remaining bacon mixture or cheese, sprinkle them on top.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Check at about 30 minutes and tent with foil if the edges are getting too brown. To ensure it's cooked through, a thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf should read 190°F.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before lifting the loaf out of the pan.
