There's something undeniably comforting about a hearty breakfast that features Bacon Biscuit Sandwiches. These delightful creations are a staple in Southern cuisine, combining the flakiness of buttermilk biscuits with the savory crunch of crispy bacon.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk
8 slices of bacon
4 large eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: cheese, avocado, hot sauce, or your favorite condiments
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk gradually, stirring until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it about 5-6 times until just combined. Pat the dough to a 1-inch thickness and cut it into circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
Bake the Biscuits: Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow them to cool slightly.
Cook the Bacon: While the biscuits bake, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack the eggs and fry to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the baked biscuits in half. Layer crispy bacon and a fried egg on the bottom half of each biscuit. Add any optional toppings, then place the top half of the biscuit over the filling.
