You know, sometimes life can be oh so difficult. Like when you *have* to make smoked cheddar and bacon biscuit rollups. It’s a tough job, but someone had to do it. 😉

When the new PC Insider’s Collection came out I shared a video on Facebook with all the goodies they sent me, and along with those goodies were some recipes. I’ll be sharing another one with you later this month, but this one was so delicious it took top priority!

Bacon + cheese = happiness. Am I right, or am I right?

Smoked Cheddar and Bacon Biscuit Rollups

Print

Smoked cheddar and two types of bacon are stuffed into these rollups for a wickedly good, smoky biscuit that’s sure to please. Serve as is, with hot pepper jelly or additional marmalade.

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

• INGREDIENTS
• 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour
• 1-¼ Tsp (6 mL) baking powder
• 1/2 Tsp (2 mL) each baking soda and salt
• 1/3 cup (75 mL) cold PC® Salted Country Churned Butter, cubed
• 1-⅓ cups (325 mL) very cold buttermilk
• 2 Tbsp (25 mL) PC® Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) PC® black label Bacon Marmalade Spread
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) cooked and chopped PC® Naturally Smoked Bacon (about 5 slices)
• 2 cups (500 mL) shredded PC® Aged 2 Years Smoked Cheddar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in large bowl. Cut in cold butter using pastry blender or two knives until coarse crumbs form with pea-sized pieces of butter throughout. Pour in cold buttermilk; using your hands, mix gently just until mixture comes together into a lumpy dough (do not over mix).

Turn dough onto floured surface. Using floured rolling pin, roll into 16 X 9-inch (40 X 27-cm) rectangle. Dust off excess flour with pastry brush; spread mustard then marmalade all over in a thin even layer. Sprinkle bacon all over followed by 1-½ cups (375 mL) of the cheese.

Roll up gently starting from long edge, rolling or stretching slightly if needed to form log that is 18 inches (45 cm) long. Cut into1-½ inch (4 cm) thick rounds; transfer to muffin cups. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.

Bake in centre of oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes then carefully transfer to rack to cool for another 5 to 10 minutes. Biscuits can be served at any temperature.

And don’t worry. I did my due diligence and taste tested these three times (which means I ate three rollups) to make sure they were blog worthy.

I told you it was a tough job! 😉

If you live in an area where you don’t have access to President’s Choice products (which means you are likely outside of Canada), you could certainly still make these, though you will probably need to find a substitute for the bacon marmalade. I feel like an apricot or apple marmalade might be good, but if you are afraid of experimenting I’m sure they’d work just fine without that element as well.

I sent my husband a text as work when these came out of the oven to show him what awaited him. Apparently he was impressed because he showed it to some of his coworkers, haha. Bacon and cheese for the win everyone. Bacon and cheese for the win.
