Farmhouse Cheddar 'N' Egg 

Laminated Biscuit Sandwiches

I was excited to feature eggs from one of our event sponsors. And I was especially excited to see organic brown eggs available! You can read more about Eggland's Best in my post - HOW TO: Make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs.

And this recipe also features the Farmhouse Reserve Cheddar from another event sponsor, Cabot. You can use any cheese that you have on-hand, but this one has the perfect balance of sharpness and creaminess. We loved it!

Ingredients

Biscuit Dough

• 1 T organic granulated sugar
• 3 T warm water
• 2 t (1 envelope) active dry yeast
• 5 C all-purpose flour
• 2 t salt
• 1 t baking soda
• 1 t baking powder
• 1 C butter, cold and cubed 
• 2 C whole plain yogurt or buttermilk
• 1/2 C butter, cold
• light oil for greasing the bowl (I used canola)

For Serving

• scrambled eggs (HOW TO: Make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs)
• 1 block cheese, grated
• ham slices or cooked bacon

Procedure

Biscuit Dough

In a small mixing bowl, stir together sugar, 3 T warm water, and yeast. Let stand until mixture is bloomed and foamy, approximately 5 minutes.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Using your hands or a pastry blender, cut in cold, cubed butter until mixture is crumbly. Add yeast mixture and yogurt, stirring until dry ingredients are just moistened. 

Knead by hand a few times until dough comes together. Oil a large mixing bowl and place dough in bowl, turning so that it's completely covered in oil. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm spot until raised and puffy, approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Pound the 1/2 C butter into a rectangle, wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate while the dough rises.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured piece of parchment. Gently roll dough into an 18x12-inch rectangle. Unwrap butter and place in center of dough. Fold dough into thirds, like a letter.

Roll dough to 1-1/2" thick. Rotate dough 90 degrees, and fold dough again into thirds, like a letter. 

Roll dough to a rectangle at 1-1/2" thickness, again. Cut dough into squares and gently separate the biscuits. Transfer to prepared sheet.

Bake until golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes.

Make your scrambled eggs. Top them with grated cheese and cover until the cheese is nicely melted.

To assemble, split your biscuits in the middle and open them up.

Layer the biscuit with ham or cooked bacon. Top of cheesy scrambled eggs. Serve immediately.
