Best Chicago Style Breakfast Biscuit Egg Sandwich Recipes

BACON, EGG, AND CHEESE BUTTERMILK BISCUIT BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 3 to 4 minutes. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in 1 cup buttermilk, and stir just until combined.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat and roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 biscuits. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the top of each biscuit with remaining buttermilk.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Combine eggs and water in a bowl and whisk vigorously until smooth; set aside. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl skillet to coat with butter; heat until just barely bubbling. Pour eggs into the center of the skillet, so butter gets pushed out to the sides.
• Cook until edges of the eggs barely start to set. Gently scramble all the way around the pan using a spatula, creating large, soft curds. Sprinkle cheese onto the eggs at this point. Continue cooking, pausing in between to allow time for the cheese to melt and eggs to firm, gently pushing and folding the eggs to form large curds, about 3 minutes total. Do not allow the eggs to cook completely or eggs will turn chewy and rubbery. Remove from heat.
• Slice biscuits in half and top bottom halves with scrambled eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 bacon pieces per biscuit, and finish with the biscuit tops. Serve immediately.

CHICAGO-STYLE BREAKFAST BISCUIT EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, poppy seeds, salt and baking powder. Toss together to coat the butter in flour. Using clean hands, break up the butter into pea-size pieces.
• Add the sport peppers and onion. Slowly add the buttermilk and mix together with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead just until it comes together. Pat down the dough until it is about 1 inch thick, fold in half, pat down the dough again and fold in half the other way. Cut out with a floured biscuit cutter (3- to 4-inch) or floured rim of a water glass (you should have 4 large biscuits) and place on a cast-iron skillet or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cook until golden brown on the tops, 20 to 22 minutes.
• For the special sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the relish and mustard. Set aside.
• For the sandwiches: In a medium skillet over high heat, add the hot dogs, cut-sides down, and cook until crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, crack and scramble the eggs. Add 2 tablespoons water and whisk together. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the eggs. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, move the eggs back and forth until you reach a desired scramble. Sprinkle with the celery salt. Set aside.
• Slice open the biscuits, top with the eggs, hot dogs, special sauce, tomatoes and dill pickle chips.
