Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- Cooking spray or oil for frying
How to Make Cheesy Egg Biscuit Sandwiches
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 2-3 times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- While the biscuits are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little cooking spray or oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes for runny yolks.
- Once the biscuits are done, slice them in half. Layer the cheesy biscuit with a cooked egg and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use cold butter for flaky biscuits; don’t skip this step.
- Avoid overworking the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
- Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda for a flavor twist.
- For extra flavor, add herbs like chives or parsley to the biscuit dough.
Easy Variations
- Add cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier sandwich.
- Incorporate sautéed vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers for added nutrition.
- Swap cheddar for cream cheese or a spreadable cheese for a different texture.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing balance.
- A side of crispy hash browns for extra comfort.
- A warm cup of coffee or tea to complement the meal.
