Serves 6

Ingredients

For the biscuits:

  • 1-2/3 c flour
  • 1-1/2 t sugar
  • 1-1/4 t baking powder
  • 1/4 t baking soda
  • 1 t salt
  • 5 T unsalted butter, melted & cooled slightly
  • 1 c buttermilk, chilled (see NOTE below)

For the filling:

  • 6 sausage links (I used chorizo)
  • 6 lg eggs
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 2 t unsalted butter
  • 6 slices cheese (pepper jack, cheddar…I used parmesan)

Make the biscuits:  Heat oven to 450 deg & grease an 8″ square baking pan.  Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt together in a bowl.  Add melted butter to chilled buttermilk & stir until small clumps form.  Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture & stir well until fully combined.  Transfer dough to prepared pan & spread into even layer.  Using knife or bench scraper coated with oil, cut dough into 6 rectangles.  Bake until golden brown, about 20 min.  Let biscuits cool in pan for 05 min.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Make the filling:  Slice sausages lengthwise, stopping just short of slicing all the way through.  Open them up like a book; invert onto cold 12″ skillet; press to flatten into rectangle & remove casing (if desired).  Cook over med-high heat until cooked through, about 02 min per side.  Transfer sausages to paper towel-lined plate.

Thoroughly beat 3 eggs with 1/8 t salt.  Melt 1 t butter in now-empty skillet over med-high heat.  Add eggs & tilt pan to evenly coat bottom.  Cover, reduce heat to low & cook for 45 sec.  uncover & tilt to swirl uncooked egg to edges of omelet.  Cover & continue to cook until top is just set, 45-60 sec.  Slide skillet off heat.  Run spatula around edges to loosen & remove omelet from pan.  Repeat cooking process with 3 remaining eggs to make 2 total omelets.

Take 1 omelet & fold 4 sides toward middle to create an 8″ square.  Fold square in half to create 8 x 4″ rectangle.  Use spatula to cut rectangle crosswise into 3 rectangles.  Repeat with 2nd omelet to make a total of 6 rectangles.  Return eggs & sausages to skillet.  Top eggs with cheese & cover to keep warm.

Separate biscuits into 6 portions.  Stand each biscuit on its side & cut in half using serrated knife.  Make sandos by placing 1 egg/cheese portion & 1 sausage onto biscuit.  Enjoy!

For Leftover Sandwiches:  Refrigerate leftover sandwiches for up to 3 days.  To reheat, place sandwich on plate & cover with bowl.  Microwave for 01 min.  Uncover & let sit for 01 min before serving.

NOTE:   To make a buttermilk substitute, use ratio of:  1 T acid (lemon juice or vinegar) to 1 c milk.  Let sit 05min & viola!
