Make Ahead Breakfast Biscuit Sandwiches
Description
The recipe starts with a biscuit dough made from all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cold butter, and buttermilk. The dough is minimally kneaded and rolled out to preserve flakiness before cutting into rounds and baking until golden brown.
Bacon is baked separately until nearly crisp, then halved for sandwich layering. Scrambled eggs are made with beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked with butter. Once the biscuits cool slightly, sandwiches are assembled by layering bacon halves, scrambled eggs, and slices of sharp cheddar cheese.
This approach allows many components to be prepared in advance, making the sandwiches convenient for breakfast or brunch. The biscuits provide a sturdy yet tender base that holds the fillings well. The sharp cheddar complements the richness of bacon and eggs.
These sandwiches can be reheated gently and are great for serving to a group. Preparing the biscuits and fillings ahead streamlines busy mornings without sacrificing texture or flavor.
Ingredients
- 12 lices Bacon
- 12 egg lightly beaten, large
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter unsalted
- 12 lices cheddar cheese sharp
For the buttermilk biscuits
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter cut into cubes, unsalted
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add cold butter, using your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 1 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut out 10-12 rounds using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown; set aside.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Place bacon in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until almost crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; cut in half crosswise and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring gently using a silicone or heat-proof spatula, until they just begin to set; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 4-6 minutes.
- Split biscuits; top with cheese, eggs and bacon, and then cover with another biscuit top to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining biscuits to make 12 sandwiches. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
- To reheat, remove plastic wrap from the sandwich and wrap in a paper towel. Place into microwave for 1 minute, or until heated through completely.
- Serve immediately.
