Gorilla Biscuits Recipe

Biscuit Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Biscuits

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

2. 2

   Prepare the Ham and Cheese

   While the biscuits are baking, fry slices of ham in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. In the same skillet, add slices of cheese and fry until melted and golden. Set aside.

3. 3

   Poach the Eggs

   Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for soft yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

4. 4

   Make the Hollandaise Sauce

   In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place over a pot of simmering water and whisk continuously until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add 1/2 cup melted butter while whisking until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Assemble the Gorilla Biscuits

   Split the biscuits in half. Layer each with crispy ham, fried cheese, and a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and serve immediately.
