Egg and Cheese Biscuit Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

A flaky, buttermilk biscuit layered with a perfectly fried egg and melted cheddar cheese, making for a satisfying breakfast or brunch sandwich.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
• 4 large eggs
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter (for frying eggs)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add buttermilk and stir just until dough comes together. Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times.
4. Pat dough into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out 4 biscuits using a 3-inch cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
6. Meanwhile, melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry eggs one at a time (or two at a time) to desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
7. Split biscuits in half. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half, top with a fried egg, then cover with biscuit top.
8. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a slice of ham or bacon.
• Biscuits can be made ahead and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
• Use a cast-iron skillet for the best crust on the eggs.
