I was all set to make the tiniest portion of this recipe and serve little bitty biscuits with salad for dinner. And then Dorie mentioned ham sandwiches in the headnote and I started thinking about adding eggs and cheese to that and suddenly I was making extra dough to freeze. Breakfast sandwiches are on my Favorite Foods Ever List. (Let us not discuss how long that list is.)
There are all sorts of biscuits – flaky from cutting in butter, layered from multiple pastry turns, tender from stirring in cream – and I love them all. And they all make one mean breakfast sandwich.
Melissa, who chose these biscuits for Tuesdays with Dorie, has the recipe posted on her site. You might be able to tell from the photos that my tiny biscuits rose higher than my bigger biscuits. I mixed, cut, and rolled the dough at the same time; the only difference is that the larger ones were baked straight from the freezer instead of right after the dough was made like the smaller ones. Also, I brushed the larger biscuits with an egg wash because I happened to have eggs available. It makes for a pretty biscuit, but they’re great either way.

Wow, those little ones look straight out of a magazine! Great job, and I too love breakfast sandwiches. Yum. Thanks for baking my selection this week!
These look fabulous! My husband always teases me about how many things are my “favorite food ever!!!!!!!!!!” haha! 🙂
Yum! Your breakfast sandwich looks delicious!! I had these with chicken tenders the night I baked them. And, the next morning reheated them and made sausage and egg sandwiches with them. Such an easy yet delicious recipe. 🙂
Oh my that ham & egg biscuit looks so fricken good!
Oh I am TOTALLY doing the egg wash next time. The golden crust is killer! Not to mention the fact that I’m craving an egg mcmuffin like no other right now. Damn your insanely delicious picture.

These are beautiful. I love the mini’s. Yum!
Love your sandwich and your biscuits with the egg wash! They look delicious!
Oh those are the cutest little sandwiches and your biscuits have the nicest color, so pretty!
Mmmm biscuits… I like them savory rather than sweet. Sprinkle some cheese and herbs in and I’m sold!
Or you could just add in some sea salt… I love simple salty flavours too!
Wei-Wei
I froze mine before baking and they didn’t rise much so now I’m thinking I should try again and bake them immediately to see how they turn out. Your little breakfast sandwich looks fabulous! Breakfast sandwiches are a serious weakness of mine so I NEVER make them or I’d start wanting them every day.
YUM! Those biscuits look so soft and perfectly puffed! 🙂
Im hungry now! I love the biscuit with the ham and egg, McDonalds has nothing on you!

Great color on the biscuits 🙂 Love the sandwich!
The shapes of biscuits are beautiful! The egg wash is great. It makes the biscuit shiny. Thanks for sharing.
