Egg Biscuits Recipes

GREEK EGG BISCUITS

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat for 10 minutes on medium speed. Add four of the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the butter mixture and stir to form soft, cohesive dough. Add flour if dough is too soft to handle easily.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets
• Lightly flour a work surface. Break off 1 inch lumps of dough and roll on floured surface into ropes about 7 inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter. Cross the ends and twirl dough in a loop in the opposite direction, forming a braid. Place on cookie sheets about 1 inch apart.
• Beat remaining egg. Brush onto braids for glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely.

ITALIAN EGG BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat the eggs until pale yellow. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until thick and light-colored. Add the oil and milk, beating well to combine. Sift the flour and baking powder together and stir into the egg mixture. The dough will be soft; wrap it in wax paper and refrigerate for at least one hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease three cookie sheets. Place the dough on a well-floured surface. Knead dough for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and no longer sticky. Break off egg-size pieces of dough and roll or coil into balls. Place the dough balls one-inch apart on the cookie sheets. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly colored and firm to the touch. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool slightly before frosting. For frosting, combine the sugar, milk and vanilla and stir until smooth. While the cookies are still warm, dip the top of each cookie in the frosting. Place the cookies on racks to let the frosting dry before storing. Sprinkle with nonpareils, if desired. Cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to one week or frozen for up to three months.

BISCUIT EGG-IN-A-HOLE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Pulse together the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces form. Add the cheese and chives and pulse until just combined. Add the buttermilk and pulse a couple of times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat together gently into a ball. Use your hands to divide the dough into 6 even pieces. Generously coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Using the baking sheet as your work surface, pat each piece of dough into a 3 1/2-inch round about 3/4 inch thick. Arrange 3 dough rounds along the top long edge of the baking sheet, spacing them out evenly and making sure there is a 1/2-inch space between the dough rounds and the edges of the baking sheet. Arrange the remaining 3 dough rounds in the same fashion along the bottom long edge of the baking sheet. Cut the center out of each round with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Arrange these smaller rounds evenly across the middle of the baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of all the dough pieces with buttermilk and bake until the smaller biscuits are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them and transfer to a plate.
• Lay a piece of ham over each of the large rounds. Push each ham piece down into the hole so that it forms a cup. Crack 1 egg into each of the ham cups. If a little of the egg white spills over, it's okay. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Bake, rotating the pan front to back after 5 minutes, until the whites are just set and the yolks are still jiggly when you lightly shake the baking sheet, 8 to 12 minutes more.
• Use a spatula to remove them to individual plates and top each with a smaller biscuit piece for dipping into the egg.

SHEET PAN EGG-IN-A-HOLE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Separate the biscuits and put them on the prepared sheet pan. Brush 8 of the biscuits with the heavy cream. Sprinkle all the biscuits with the Cheddar, then the chives. Put each biscuit brushed with cream on top of an unbrushed biscuit to make 8 biscuit stacks. Space the stacks evenly on the sheet pan. Cut out the center of each stack with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Put the cut-outs in the empty spaces on the sheet pan.
• Push a slice of ham down into each hole to make a cup that is deep enough to hold an egg comfortably. Crack 1 egg into each of the ham cups and sprinkle with the paprika.
• Bake until the biscuits are flaky and golden brown, the egg whites are just set and the yolks are still jiggly when you lightly shake the sheet pan, about 20 minutes.
• Serve each egg-in-a-hole with one of the biscuit cut-outs for dipping.
