What You’ll Need
Gather these simple, delicious ingredients to craft your amazing Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches:
Ingredients:
- 12 biscuits (store-bought refrigerated biscuits, homemade, or frozen and baked)
- 12 slices cheddar cheese (sliced, or about 1.5 cups shredded for meltiness)
- 12 slices bacon, cooked crispy (or about 1 cup crumbled bacon)
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk (any kind, for the eggs)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for scrambling eggs)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: Ketchup, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of chives for serving
Instructions: Bake, Cook, Assemble, and Devour!
1. Bake the Biscuits:
Preheat your oven according to the package directions for your chosen biscuits. Place the 12 biscuits on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Once baked, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Cook the Bacon:
While the biscuits are baking, cook the 12 slices bacon until desired crispness. You can cook it in a skillet, bake it in the oven (place on a rack over a foil-lined baking sheet at 400°F / 200°C for 15-20 minutes), or microwave. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease. Set aside.
3. Scramble the Eggs:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs and ¼ cup milk. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are light, fluffy, and just set. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will continue to warm on the sandwich. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
Carefully slice each warm biscuit in half horizontally. Place a cooked biscuit bottom on a clean surface or serving plate. Top the biscuit bottom with a generous portion of the scrambled eggs (about ¼ cup per sandwich). Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese over the eggs. The warmth of the eggs will help start the melting process. Add 1-2 slices of crispy bacon (or a sprinkle of crumbled bacon) on top of the cheese. Place the biscuit top over the bacon to complete the sandwich.
5. Melt the Cheese (Optional, but Recommended):
If your cheese isn’t fully melted from the egg’s warmth, you can:
- Option A (Quick Melt): Place the assembled sandwiches (or just the bottom half with egg/cheese/bacon) under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Option B (Gentle Melt): Place the assembled sandwiches back on the baking sheet and into the warm, turned-off oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is gooey.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Serve the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches immediately while hot and fresh. Enjoy them on their own, or with a dash of ketchup or hot sauce for an extra kick. These are perfect for making ahead and reheating for busy mornings too!
Tips for Perfect Breakfast Sandwiches
- Biscuit Choice: Use your favorite biscuits! Fluffy homemade buttermilk biscuits are divine, but refrigerated canned biscuits offer a convenient shortcut. Frozen, bake-from-scratch biscuits are also a great option.
- Creamy Scrambled Eggs: Cook eggs low and slow, and remove them from heat just as they set to ensure they remain tender and not rubbery. Adding a splash of milk or cream helps too.
- Crispy Bacon: For best results, cook bacon until truly crispy. The texture contrast is key in this sandwich.
- Warm Biscuits: Warm biscuits are easier to split and absorb the flavors better.
- Cheese Melts Best Warm: The heat from the freshly cooked eggs and warm biscuit will help melt the cheese. If you prefer extra gooey, a quick trip under the broiler or into a warm oven does the trick.
- Make Ahead & Freeze: These sandwiches are excellent for meal prep! Assemble them (steps 1-4, excluding the final cheese melt if using broiler/oven), wrap individually in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat from frozen, unwrap, wrap loosely in paper towel, microwave for 1-2 minutes, then toast in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to crisp up the biscuit and melt the cheese.
These Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches are a delicious and satisfying way to start any day. Enjoy this ultimate breakfast comfort!
