Units Scale

  • Bacon, cook the bacon to a nice crisp and set aside.
  • Jarlsberg Cheese, sliced thin

Fresh Salsa:

  • 1 pint of grape tomatoes
  • 1 large sweet onion - sliced
  • 2 - 3 cloves of garlic - chopped fine
  • 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro - stems removed and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno - sliced thin with seeds
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbs. olive oil

Homemade Butter Biscuits:

  • 3 cups flour - plus more for dusting surface
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup of frozen butter - grated
  • 1 1/2 - 3/4 cups milk

Instructions

Fresh Salsa:

  1. Heat a large cast iron frying pan and place the tomatoes in the dry pan to gently roast and soften.
  2. When this is achieved; add the sliced onion, garlic, sliced jalapeno and olive oil and continue to cook allowing the onion to get a golden color. Add the seasonings.
  3. When the onion is golden add the cilantro and toss. Turn the heat off.

Homemade Butter Biscuits:

  1. Preheat Oven 425 degrees F.
  2. Grate the frozen butter.
  3. Place the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl and mix.
  4. Add the butter and stir with a spoon.
  5. Add one cup of milk and mix and gradually add the ½ cup of milk to the bowl and incorporate. If the last bit of milk is needed add it to form the dough.
  6. Do not knead or overwork the dough. Just bring it together and form a ball.
  7. Place on a floured surface and gently roll out to about a ¾ inch piece of dough.
  8. Using a 1 cup measuring cup; press out the biscuits.
  9. Place in an ungreased large cast-iron frying pan.
  10. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are well-risen. The biscuits should be a gentle golden color on top and a deeper golden on the bottoms.

Assembly:

  1. Cook the eggs to your preference. (I cooked mine fried in a tablespoon of olive oil.)
  2. Place the Jarlsberg cheese on each side of the hot biscuit followed by the egg, another slice of cheese, followed by the bacon and finally the warm tomato and onion salsa and close with the other half of biscuit.
