Tasty Tuesday

I will be stuffing my face with this on Sunday morning and washing it down with Mimosas!!

Bacon & Egg Biscuits

Ingredients:


4 unbaked cheddar-herb biscuits, thawed (see related recipe at left)

4 thick-cut bacon slices, halved crosswise

2 Tbs. unsalted butter

8 eggs

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

2 plum tomatoes, sliced

1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh chives

Directions:

Bake the biscuits

Preheat an oven to 400°F. Line a rimless baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut each biscuit in half crosswise and cover to keep warm.

Cook the bacon

Meanwhile, in a large fry pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp and browned, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Discard any excess fat and wipe the pan clean.

Scramble the eggs

Add the butter to the fry pan and melt over medium-low heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Pour into the fry pan and cook until the edges begin to set, about 2 minutes. Using a heat-resistant rubber spatula, stir the eggs. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 2 minutes more.

Place 1 open-faced biscuit on each of 4 plates. Top each half with equal amounts of the bacon, tomatoes and eggs and sprinkle with the chives. Serve warm. Serves 4.
