Do you know what happens mere moments after the Easter Bunny silently scampers away from the scene of the crime? When mom and dad survey the scene of multi-colored egg bombs that litter the yard? The elephant in the room appears and asks, “How much egg salad are we going to have to eat this year?” 
Easter is funny that way. Traditional always, with flavors like ham, carrots, and scalloped potatoes. Scalloped potatoes are a flavor in my book. And of course, there’s a spring berry something for dessert.
And eggs. Let us not ignore the eggs.
I for one take my egg salad very, very seriously, and very, very happily. But sometimes you just have to throw your hands in the air and let the world know that enough is simply enough with the egg salad.
That’s when it’s time to double down and try something new. Like biscuits and eggs. Still a sandwich, but different enough.
Homemade biscuits give this drive-thru classic it’s start and make a very handy and portable device to chomp down upon while steering the wheel with your knees. Breakfast in hand is always a bonus when morning comes way too early. And remember, no texting while driving, please.
No need for extra mayo or that scant teaspoon of mustard. No arguments over mayo vs. Miracle Whip. No fork mashing to get the egg mix just right.
Sliced hard-boiled eggs and bacon that’s ready and waiting in the fridge is sandwiched into warm-out-of-the-oven biscuits and topped with a slice of melty cheese.
If you’re a planner of your morning meal and like to sleep in 10 minutes longer, bake the biscuits the night before, assemble the sandwiches, and keep them in the fridge. Then simply heat up the whole shebang in the microwave before you hustle out the door. If you make this recipe, please let me know!

Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches
Ingredients
For the biscuits
- 4 tablespoons butter , cut into small pieces but still very cold (½ stick), plus 1 tablespoon for the pan
- 2 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
For the sandwiches
- 12 biscuits
- 12 thin slices Cheddar cheese
- 6 hard-boiled eggs , peeled and sliced
- 6-8 slices warm , cooked bacon
Instructions
To make biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Prepare 9-inch straight sided cake pan with butter and set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and kosher salt. Add small pieces of butter and work into flour mixture with fingers until texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir buttermilk into flour mixture until it just comes together and dough is a little shaggy looking. Knead dough a few times in bowl then turn out onto lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a ½-inch thick shape.
- Cut biscuits out with 2-inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour. Place biscuits in the prepared pan. Fold remaining dough over itself and pat into another ½-inch thick shape and continue to cut biscuits until you’ve used all the dough. You should have about 12 biscuits.
- Bake 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Remove from oven and turn out into towel, cover and let rest while preparing sandwiches.
To prepare sandwiches
- Separate warm biscuits into top and bottom halves and place 1 slice of Cheddar cheese on the bottom, top with 4-5 slices of hard-boiled egg, a few slices of bacon and top biscuit half.
- Repeat with remaining biscuits.
- If biscuits have cooled and cheese doesn’t melt, place composed sandwiches on plate and place in turned off but still warm oven for 5 minutes or so for cheese to melt. Or, microwave on high for 30 seconds.

Could you freeze these?
I haven’t ever tried to freeze them so I’m not sure. If you do, please come back and let us know if they’re a success.
Wow, this egg sammie is stunning. I’m picturing those biscuits slathered with butter. Yum!
Ok, I seriously never thought of it, but you are so incredibly right…there are always SOOOOO many hard boiled eggs left over, this is just the most creative and perfect recipe and post (and other recipe inspiration). I can already pass along the big thank you from my husband for us not eating egg salad sandwiches for the entire week :)
Beautiful!! And we get so sick of egg salad every year too….this is such a yummier egg application! #brilliant
These are a great simple breakfast sandwich! : )
Now this is an egg sandwich. When we travel, we often lean towards an egg sandwich in the mornings as it will normally take us through lunch time, especially if we know it will be hard to tear away for a bit. Every time, we say, we really need to have a go-to egg sandwich to make at home for lazy weekend or before a road trip. As I was reading your post and recipe, I kept thinking, I could do this if I made those fluffy biscuits the night before. Being the hot sauce folks over here I would probably add a splash or two, otherwise, this is perfection!
Oh, I’m with you on the hot sauce. That’s a no-brainer. What’s your favorite?
Look at those biscuits! I’m in love with these sandwiches.
That’s total comfort food right there!
Your sandwiches look like a great start to a perfect day!
I just had a total flashback to sausage biscuits with egg, my old childhood standby at the McD’s drive through. I think I’ll take this homemade version thankyouverymuch. The one-handed steering wheel biscuit chomp action is still happening though!
