Instructions
Creating Southern Sunrise Breakfast Treats is straightforward and fun. Follow these steps to make your own:
Step 1: Prepare the Buttermilk Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to hold together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 2: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
- Once the butter has melted, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Stir gently with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Breakfast Treats
- Slice the baked biscuits in half horizontally.
- Layer the bottom half with a generous portion of scrambled eggs.
- Add a layer of crumbled sausage on top of the eggs.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage.
- Place the top half of the biscuit over the cheese layer.
- For extra melty cheese, you can place the assembled treats back in the oven for a minute or two until the cheese melts.
