Prosciutto and Cheddar Breakfast Biscuits

Breakfast Prosciutto Eggs Ham Pork Brunch Biscuits Easy Eat: Bon Appétit!

Summary

This recipe is presented by Eggland’s Best.

Italy mingles with the Deep South for this two-stepping twist on the traditional breakfast sandwich. Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, and keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

If deli ham is more available than prosciutto, no worries: These protein-packed biscuits will still wow ’em.

Ingredients

For the biscuits:

  • 2 1/3 cups biscuit/baking mix
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons chives, minced

For the eggs:

  • 6 large Eggland’s Best eggs
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto or deli ham, cut into strips
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
