Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
plus extra for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
cold and diced, 1 stick
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
for cooking eggs
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- 2
Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. (Small pea-sized pieces are fine.)
- 3
Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- 4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in thirds like a letter and pat it out again to 1-inch thickness. Repeat this folding process 2-3 times for extra flaky layers.
- 5
Use a 2- to 3-inch biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting. Gather scraps, reform, and cut again as needed.
- 6
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, touching slightly for soft sides. Brush tops with a bit of buttermilk. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Cool slightly on a wire rack.
- 7
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble, stirring occasionally, until just set.
- 8
Slice the warm biscuits in half. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with scrambled eggs and bacon. Add the biscuit tops and press gently. Serve immediately.

Craving a substantial breakfast sandwich that beats any fast-food offering? This recipe for homemade Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches delivers hearty, satisfying flavor right in your own kitchen, all ready with just 20 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking.
The magic behind these sandwiches lies in the homemade biscuits, crafted with cold butter and buttermilk to ensure a tender, flaky texture that's simply unmatched by store-bought versions. Paired with perfectly cooked eggs, savory bacon, and melty cheddar cheese, this recipe elevates a breakfast staple to something truly special.
Expect a breakfast experience that's both comforting and incredibly flavorful. Each bite offers a delightful contrast: the soft, pillowy biscuit giving way to the rich, creamy eggs, the crisp saltiness of bacon, and the sharp tang of melted cheddar. These sandwiches are wonderfully substantial, designed to keep you feeling full and energized through your morning. This is a breakfast that feels like a treat, without compromising on quality or satisfaction.
While cheddar and bacon are classic, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Swiss for a different flavor profile. For protein, cooked sausage patties or thinly sliced ham would be delicious alternatives to bacon. You could also fold in some sautéed spinach or diced bell peppers into your eggs for an added boost of vegetables.
These hearty Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches are perfect for a weekend brunch, a special holiday morning, or simply as a thoughtful way to kickstart a busy workday. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or a fresh fruit salad for a complete and utterly delicious meal.
