Egg & Cheese Biscuit Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Incorporate Butter

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Buttermilk

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Shape Biscuits

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it down to about 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake Biscuits

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Cook the Eggs

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and add salt and black pepper. Cook to your desired doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.).

Add Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cooked eggs and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for about 1-2 minutes.

Assemble the Biscuit

Once the biscuits are baked, slice them in half. Place the cheesy eggs on the bottom half of each biscuit and cover with the top half.
