Bisquick Impossibly Easy Breakfast Bake

The Story

Originating from the 'Impossible Pie' series developed by General Mills in the late 1960s and popularized in the 1970s, this recipe utilized the unique chemistry of Bisquick to create a crust, filling, and topping all from one pourable batter. It was featured on the back of millions of boxes to demonstrate the versatility of the mix beyond pancakes. This savory version became a staple for Sunday morning brunches across America.
