Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit Braid
Serves 6
15m prep time
25m cook time
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
6 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tablespoon chives, snipped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, cut the cubed butter into the flour until it resembles sand. Make a well in the center and add buttermilk. Stir in with a fork until fully moistened.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until dough holds together. Roll out into an 8x12-inch rectangle and transfer to parchment paper, reshaping if needed.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, chives, and salt and pepper.
Pour half of the melted butter in to a skillet and scramble the eggs until they are soft.
Spread eggs down center of dough and sprinkle with bacon and cheese.
Cut diagonal strips on each side to within a quarter inch of filling. Fold strips over each other.
Brush dough with remaining butter. Bake until golden brown, 25 minutes.
