  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Servings: 4 sandwiches
  • Calories: 450 kcal per sandwich

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
For the Filling:
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 8 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: sliced green onions or hot sauce for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscuits: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed butter, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly 3-4 times.

  3. Shape Biscuits: Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into squares or circles using a biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

  5. Cook Bacon: While the biscuits are baking, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.

  6. Scramble Eggs: In the same skillet, beat eggs with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until scrambled to your desired doneness.

  7. Assemble Sandwiches: Split biscuits in half and layer each bottom half with bacon, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese. Top with the other biscuit half.

  8. Melt Cheese (Optional): For extra gooeyness, place assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
