Homemade Biscuit Sandwiches

Use homemade buttermilk biscuits that you made the day before, toast them lightly in a skillet or toaster oven, then add your favorite fillings. You can make eggs ahead and have your meat and cheese ready also.

Grilling or toasting the biscuit first helps it not to get soggy and fall apart. This step seals the fluffy crumb layer preventing the biscuit from soaking moisture from the fillings. It stays fresh and crisp.

My favorite way to load up a biscuit is with ham, a fried egg, and a slice of sharp cheese.

Some days I change it up and use bacon or sausage and a creamier cheese; it depends on what I have on hand or what I am in the mood for.

I usually wrap up a sandwich and take it with me for a morning when I need to move quickly.

Sandwich Options

If you like a more al-fresco-style breakfast you could use avocado slices and cold sandwich meat or thinly sliced salmon for your breakfast sandwich.

Another cold or hot option is to use a piece of fried chicken and top it with a drizzle of honey and a slice of sharp tangy cheese between the biscuit halves, this gives a delicious southern-style sweet and tangy taste with a lot of crunch in each bite.

If you aren’t on the go, but you like the biscuit sandwich combo, you can make them open-faced, and top with a hollandaise sauce or some of your favorite hot sauce.

The Perfect Egg

I find the easiest way to make eggs for a breakfast biscuit sandwich is to use a round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter. Really, any type of metal ring will do to form the eggs as they are cooking.

This is an easy hack and you usually have something at home you can use. Even the ring from a mason jar lid would work well, just make sure the top lip. This ensures that there isn’t a barrier on the bottom touching the pan.

Alternatively, you can bake scrambled eggs on a sheet pan and cut in squares. Again, a biscuit cutter can be used to form the same shape as the biscuits.

This same step applies when assembling the sandwich with ham or prosciutto. Cut it to fit the sandwich perfectly.

This step made the layers fit perfectly. I didn’t have to worry about it falling out of my biscuit while eating. Plus, it’s pretty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Freeze Breakfast Sandwiches?

Yes! To freeze these breakfast sandwiches you will make the biscuits and filling in advance. If you know you want to freeze breakfast sandwiches for later, then I would use scrambled eggs. Let the ingredients cool completely, and assemble the sandwiches with cheese and ham. You can even cook up bacon!

Now you’ll wrap each sandwich in freezer wrapper, foil or saran wrap to hold the sandwich together. Place in a freezer bag or freezer container.

How Do You Reheat Frozen Biscuit Sandwiches?

Reheat in a microwave by removing the wrap and covering the biscuit sandwich with a paper towel. Heat on hight for 40-50 seconds, then turn over and heat an additional 40-50 seconds.

To reheat in an oven, place biscuit sandwiches on a baking pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes.

Can You Prep Biscuits Ahead Of Time?

Yes! Bake the biscuits several days in advance and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
In addition, all the filling; eggs, bacon, ham or sausage can be prepared in advance. Assemble ingredients just before serving by warming in the oven or microwave.
