Let’s start this story by going back in time a couple years. During my travels I found myself in a small artisan bakery, stood in line for about 30 minutes and promptly bought a massive box of goodies. And when I say a massive box of goodies – I do mean massive. I love small businesses, I love pastries and trying new things. So I walked out of this hole-in-the-wall bakery with a box that had to be tilted to fit out the door, I’m talking practically a wedding dress keepsake box. One of the goodies in this oversized box was basically an entire breakfast on a biscuit. It was fantastic.
Back to present times – I had a couple biscuits left over from a previous recipe and suddenly remembered that breakfast biscuit.
I made a super simple version which I would say was a smashing success. I’ve had them plain and with hot sauce and plan on making these fairly regularly in the future. I like the idea that they are an all in one meal that looks fancier than they actually are. There is a very small amount of ingredients and I tend to have all of them on hand most of the time. I also plan on trying puff pastry dough which would probably have more of a fresh pastry vibe but would require a bit more effort than the refrigerator biscuit. Do with that information what you will. Perhaps you can try the puff pastry and the biscuit.
I feel like this is a wonderful option for when you have overnight visitors and the breakfast should be quick but not cereal level. Serve some of these with fresh fruit, yogurt parfait, sausage links or a side of avocado … honestly do all the things, have a buffet to impress the guests, impress yourself.
Hope you enjoy this very easy recipe because I certainly did. The only thing to keep in mind with this recipe is to make sure you make a small well in the biscuit and bacon to contain the egg otherwise it will run off and cook separately (which happened to me) if that does happen it’s not a big deal because you can always put the egg back on the biscuit once everything cooks. Top with siracha and enjoy.
