Maryland Breakfast Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Home Fries

   Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

2. 2

   Cook the Country Ham

   In another skillet, add the country ham and cook over medium heat until heated through and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Scramble the Eggs

   In a bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently stir with a spatula until soft curds form and the eggs are cooked to your liking. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Make the Buttermilk Biscuits

   Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and roll out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass. Place on a baking sheet and brush the tops with milk. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.

5. 5

   Assemble the Breakfast

   On each plate, serve a portion of scrambled eggs, a helping of home fries, a slice of country ham, and a warm buttermilk biscuit. Enjoy your Maryland Breakfast!
