Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 8 slices cooked bacon or cooked sausage patties
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out round biscuits.
- Place half of the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Top each with a slice of cooked bacon or a cooked sausage patty.
- In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the bacon or sausage.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the egg mixture.
- Place the remaining biscuit rounds on top of the cheese-egg layer, pressing down gently to seal the edges.
- Bake the biscuits for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your fluffy and delicious breakfast biscuits!
