There is nothing better than creating a "Hygge moment" at breakfast time. For me, this usually involves a delicious breakfast, making a cup of tea or coffee (especially in a cute cup or mug), and listening to my favorite podcasts while wrapped in a blanket on the couch. Doesn't that sound cozy? This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it's amazing.
This truffled egg and cheese biscuit is something I like to have on the weekends when there is more time to create those "Hygge moments". Truffle salt and zest are what make this recipe really stand out. That being said, I know many people don't like truffle, or even a fried egg. These tasty biscuits are easy to make and there are many ways to adapt this recipe to make it suit your taste.
When it comes to choosing eggs all I can say is do some research. There are various types out there: white, brown, pasture raised, free range, etc. It's really interesting to learn about these options to pick the one that is best for you - based on budget, ethics, taste, environmental impact, and availability. Often times we are uninformed on the products we are buying as consumers, or are stuck on one particular product because it is what we had growing up.
Now it's time to start cooking and creating!
Truffled Egg & Cheese Biscuit
Truffled Egg & Cheese Biscuit
Yields: 2 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes (apx)
Total Time: 25 minutes (apx)
Ingredients
- 2 jumbo buttermilk biscuits*
- 2 eggs
- Slices of sharp cheddar cheese (about 1/8 inch thick)
- Truffle salt
- Truffle zest
*If preferred, make your own buttermilk biscuits. My favorite recipe is: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/220943/chef-johns-buttermilk-biscuits/
*Make it vegan: use vegan options for all non-vegan ingredients.
*Add other toppings: if you don't like truffle, don't add the truffle salt or zest. Add anything you like instead. Regular salt and pepper would be great, or even the Trader Joe's "Everything but the Bagel" seasoning perhaps.
Directions:
1. Start by baking the biscuits. Cook according to the biscuit instructions (or recipe). Be sure to preheat the oven before placing the biscuits inside.
2. Slice the cheese and set it aside.
3. HAVE A DANCE PARTY while you wait for the biscuits to bake.
4. When there are about 5 minutes remaining for the biscuits to finish baking, start frying the egg. For details on how to make the perfect fried egg, I recommend this website (they explain it far better than I would): https://www.incredibleegg.org/cooking-school/egg-cookery/fry-eggs
5. When the eggs are half way cooked, add the truffle salt and zest (or other desired topping) so the flavor soaks into the egg.
6. Once the biscuits are done, remove from the oven and split in half.
7. Add the egg and cheese to one side of the biscuit and gently place the biscuit top and ENJOY!
