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!
