Make Ahead Breakfast Biscuit Sandwiches
Oh-so-warm, flaky buttermilk biscuits with eggs, bacon and cheese. Store in the fridge and reheat in the morning!
Say hello to the best start of your day. Flaky, mile-high, super buttery biscuits stuffed with scrambled eggs, bacon and sharp cheddar cheese.
If only every morning could start like this.
But wait, it can! You can actually make this ahead of time and store in the fridge, reheating the morning of. The recipe yields 12 biscuit sandwiches so you have plenty for the entire family.
You can try to freeze it but it doesn’t really hold up very well in the freezer, just FYI! But hey, anything is possible.
The prep time is longer than most, but hey, every minute you put in on a Sunday afternoon will come right back to you Monday morning when you have the most epic breakfast sandwich before heading into work.
No more growling stomachs during those meetings because you will be on that biscuit high.
Make Ahead Breakfast Biscuit Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 12 slices bacon
- 12 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
- 12 slices sharp cheddar cheese
For the buttermilk biscuits
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add cold butter, using your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 1 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut out 10-12 rounds using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown; set aside.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Place bacon in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until almost crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; cut in half crosswise and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring gently using a silicone or heat-proof spatula, until they just begin to set; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 4-6 minutes.
- Split biscuits; top with cheese, eggs and bacon, and then cover with another biscuit top to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining biscuits to make 12 sandwiches. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
- To reheat, remove plastic wrap from the sandwich and wrap in a paper towel. Place into microwave for 1 minute, or until heated through completely.
- Serve immediately.

Can I use lard instead
My daughter and I just tried to make these. I didn’t have buttermilk so I used dry cultured buttermilk blend. I think I added a tiny bit more than I was supposed to and it ended up like pancake batter. Ended up adding more than a cup of flour to make it into dough. Also, we only made half the recipe! Any thoughts? Was it the use of this other type of buttermilk, trying to halve the recipe, or something else that you think made it go wrong?
Only a few biscuits rose to make the perfect biscuit. I used bacon and egg only since I did not have cheese on hand. They were damn delicious. I used uncured apple smoked bacon from Trader Joes and it was amazing! This will be in the recipe rotation for sure.
Made homemade egg McMuffins for Valentines Brunch and they were awesome. Will make these again
DD does it again! This was the very first time I made biscuits from scratch and they turned out amazing! Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes!!
Is it important to wrap in plastic? Is a tightly sealed container ok? Trying to reduce my plastic consumption.
Very good and great way to start out the day. Used sausage patties instead of bacon and came out great.
Chungah – Haven’t tried these yet but they look fantastic. I know you don’t recommend freezing them. If I make only the biscuits, will they be OK frozen? (I’m wondering if it’s the filling that makes them less than great when frozen.) Thanks!!
Biscuits work best in the freezer if you freeze them unbaked. Then just pop them into the oven, straight from the freezer and they are perfect
Just Awesome.. I’ll definitely try this.
used just the biscuit portion of the recipe. it was super easy and my biscuits were really delicious. will definitely use this biscuit recipe again… it’s practically fool proof!
Damn Delicious for sure. I can’t wait to try this recipe with my boyfriend. He gets excited when I go through all the different recipes you have online. We’ve tried a few others and they are damn delicious. No doubt that these biscuits are going to be amazing. Thanks for your amazing recipes during quarantine. I will continue making many others from here. I wish the site had an area to upload photos.
My elderly parents loved them, they said they were better than McDonalds.
How well do you think the biscuit recipe would halve? I live alone & don’t have a ton of freezer space.
I actually halved the recipe and it worked out perfectly!
Okay. me and my wife are always trying to store things in the freezer and this recipe for the biscuit breakfast sandwich is one of my go to favs!! You are correct they don’t hold well after they have been frozen but to me they taste fine! Love love love this one! great recipe!
Thank you soo much for your recipe. Will definitely try!!
These look amazing, thank you! Will try them for the girls in the morning before school next week.
Do you scramble the eggs so they’re chunky or are they set and then you slice pieces for the biscuits ?
Love your recipes! More IP please!
The sandwiches turned out so good! I used prepackaged
Biscuits and baked my eggs. Thank you!
Oh em gee! These look so yummy! They’d be perfect for a brunch picnic. Great recipe!
How important is it to wrap in plastic? Is a tightly sealed container ok? Trying to reduce my plastic consumption.
Love ALL the recipes I try from your blog!
Yes, an air-tight container should work just fine, Pam!
