Eggs

Biscuit

Optional Add-ons

Method

Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a skillet over medium heat, add butter and let it melt. Crack the eggs into the skillet.

  2. 2

    Cook to Preference

    Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, seasoning with salt and black pepper. For sunny side up, cook for about 3-4 minutes. For over-easy, flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.

Biscuit

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 5

    Add Butter

    Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 6

    Add Milk

    Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 7

    Shape the Biscuit

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it to about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.

  6. 8

    Bake

    Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Optional Add-ons

  1. 9

    Cook the Bacon/Sausage/Ham

    In a separate skillet, cook the bacon or sausage over medium heat until crispy. For ham, heat until warmed through.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Once everything is cooked, serve the eggs alongside the biscuit and optional meat on the side.
