Servings: 6 sandwiches
Equipment
- egg rings for cooking circular eggs
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked center-cut bacon*
- 6 white cheddar cheese slices
- 12 eggs I like two egg rounds per sandwich for the right biscuit-to-egg ratio but you can just use one per biscuit if preferred.
- salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp butter
Cheddar Chive Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 8 tbsp salted butter cold and diced into small cubes
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded from the block
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 cup buttermilk may need to add 1 tbsp more**
- optional: 3 tablespoons melted butter for brushing tops of cooked biscuits
Instructions
Cheddar Chive Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a pan with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cold butter pieces in and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until it resembles a coarse meal with little pea size or smaller clumps.
- Stir in the chives and shredded cheddar cheese. Slowly pour in the buttermilk as you stir, until it comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Use a 1/3-1/2 cup to scoop out biscuits into heaps, should make 6-8 biscuits. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until crisp and golden brown on the outside. If desired, brush the tops of the warm biscuits with melted butter.
Cook the Eggs
- While the biscuits are baking, heat a pan to low heat. Set greased egg rings into the pan and add 2 tsp butter into each ring. Add in one egg into each along with salt and pepper to taste.
- Use a fork to slightly whisk the egg together. Once the underside is cooked, about 3-4 minutes, remove the rings and flip the eggs to finish cooking
- Add a slice of cheese to the tops of the eggs while warm so the cheese melts.
Assemble Biscuit Sandwiches
- Slice open the warm biscuits and add the eggs, a few slices of bacon, then place the tops back on and enjoy warm!
Notes
For the Bacon: I like to bake my bacon on a parchment-lined pan at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip the bacon and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until crispy. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overcook and reaches your desired texture. If you opt for thick-cut bacon, it may increase bake time.
Biscuits: The biscuit dough can seem slightly dry at first, but as you keep stirring, it will come together. You may need 1-2 tbsp more buttermilk, but be sure only to add if needed.
