Bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwiches bring together flaky homemade biscuits, crisp bacon, soft folded eggs, and melted cheddar in one handheld Southern breakfast.

The best sandwiches start with tall biscuits and eggs cooked just until set, so the center stays tender instead of dry.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

  • Mixing bowl
  • Biscuit cutter
  • Baking sheet
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula

ShiMuv Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 slices sharp cheddar
Ingredients for bacon egg and cheese biscuit sandwiches.

How to Make It

Flaky homemade biscuits baking until golden.
Tall, layered biscuits come from cold butter and gentle folding—not kneading.
  1. Heat the oven. Preheat to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Make biscuit dough. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Cut in cold butter until pea-size pieces remain, then stir in buttermilk just until shaggy.
  3. Fold and cut. Pat dough 1 inch thick, fold into thirds twice, then cut six biscuits straight down without twisting.
  4. Bake. Bake 12–15 minutes until tall and deep golden. Cool just enough to split cleanly.
  5. Cook the bacon. Fry bacon over medium heat until crisp, 8–12 minutes, then drain.
  6. Cook soft folded eggs. Whisk eggs, milk, and remaining salt. Melt butter over medium-low heat and cook eggs slowly, folding broad curds until just set.
  7. Melt the cheese. Place cheddar over the warm eggs or on the split hot biscuits so it begins to soften.
  8. Assemble. Layer bacon, folded egg, and cheddar inside each biscuit. Serve immediately while the biscuits are warm.

Cook the eggs over medium-low heat and stop while the curds are still soft and glossy.

Recipe tip: Cut biscuits straight down and lift the cutter without twisting; twisting seals the edges and can limit rise.

Food safety: Cook eggs until set and keep cooked bacon refrigerated if not serving immediately. Refrigerate assembled leftovers within 2 hours.
