Breakfast biscuit sandwich with bacon, fried egg, and melted cheddar

Ingredients

  • 4 large refrigerated biscuits (or homemade)
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bake the biscuits: Cook biscuits according to package directions (usually 12-15 minutes at 375°F).

  2. Cook the bacon: While biscuits bake, lay bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy — about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  3. Fry the eggs: In the same skillet, drain most of the bacon fat. Add butter and fry eggs to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Assemble: Split biscuits in half. Layer cheese on the bottom, then bacon, then the egg. Add hot sauce if you like. Cap with the top biscuit.

Notes

  • Storage: Wrap individually in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
  • Variations: Add a sausage patty, swap cheddar for pepper jack, or use turkey bacon.
  • Tips: Put the cheese on the warm biscuit first so it starts melting before you add the other fillings.
  • Make Ahead: Cook bacon ahead of time and reheat in the oven while biscuits bake.
