To me, nothing beats the flavor of Southern cooking, especially for breakfast! The rich flavor of these eggs served over homemade biscuits is a hearty way to start the day.

Southern Eggs and Biscuits Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

30 25 55

Ingredients

10 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
1 pound sliced bacon, diced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 cups milk
2 cups cubed process cheese (Velveeta)
BISCUITS:
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups self-rising flour
1-1/4 cups buttermilk

Directions

Place eggs in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup drippings. Sprinkle bacon over eggs.
Whisk the flour, salt and pepper into reserved drippings until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheese until melted; pour over eggs.
For biscuits, cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk; gently knead six to eight times. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter and place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake biscuits and eggs at 400° for 25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Serve eggs over biscuits. Yield: 6-8 servings.
