Method 🧑‍🍳

  1. Bake or warm the biscuits according to package directions, or prepare your homemade version in advance.

  2. While the biscuits are baking, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until soft and translucent.

  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Add the mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

  6. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to get rid of the raw flour taste.

  7. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking or stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

  8. Add salt, pepper, paprika, and soy sauce, then simmer for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens to your liking.

  9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If it gets too thick, just stir in a splash more milk.

  10. Split the biscuits in half and spoon the hot mushroom gravy generously over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm

Overview 🔍

Mushroom gravy is rich, savory, and full of umami. It’s especially great when you want a vegetarian option that still feels hearty and satisfying. The mushrooms add a meaty texture that pairs beautifully with the flaky biscuit layers. It’s comforting and filling without being heavy, which makes it a favorite for everything from lazy weekend breakfasts to quick weeknight dinners.

You can easily switch things up, too. Add a splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness. Or stir in fresh thyme or sage to deepen the flavor. If you want more protein, toss in some cooked lentils or chopped sausage. Just make sure to serve it hot. The gravy soaks into the biscuits in the best possible way.

Method 🧑‍🍳

  1. Bake or warm the biscuits according to the package or your recipe instructions. Set aside once golden and flaky.

  2. While biscuits are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.

  3. In the same skillet, wipe away excess grease if needed, and add butter or oil.

  4. Crack in the eggs and cook to your preference—sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each egg in the pan just before the eggs finish cooking, and cover briefly to melt.

  6. Slice the biscuits in half and layer each with a piece of bacon and a cheesy egg.

  7. Close the biscuit sandwiches and serve warm.

Overview 🔍

Bacon and eggs are a classic duo. Putting them on a biscuit just makes everything better. The flaky, buttery biscuit holds everything together and soaks up just enough of the bacon and egg to feel indulgent without being messy. It’s a quick, satisfying breakfast that feels homemade but takes only minutes to pull together.

If you're curious about making smarter choices with bacon, check out our article on bacon nutrition. Try adding avocado slices, hot sauce, or a tomato slice if you like. You can also swap in turkey bacon or a meatless version if you prefer. And don’t skip the cheese – it really pulls the whole sandwich together.

Method 🧑‍🍳

  1. Preheat oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C).

  2. While the oil heats, marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 15 minutes (longer if you have time).

  3. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne.

  4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. Fry the chicken tenders in batches for 5-7 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. Bake or warm the biscuits while the chicken rests.

  7. Serve the chicken tenders inside or alongside the biscuits, with your favorite dipping sauces.

Overview 🔍

Crispy fried chicken and fluffy biscuits are a Southern classic for a reason. The crunchy, golden coating on the chicken pairs perfectly with soft, buttery biscuits. It’s hearty, crowd-pleasing, and easy to serve for casual dinners or weekend get-togethers. You can serve the tenders stacked inside the biscuits like sliders, or plate them up with sides.

Try adding coleslaw, corn on the cob, or mashed potatoes on the side. Hot honey or spicy mayo makes a great drizzle, or go classic with gravy. For a shortcut, use pre-cooked chicken tenders and just focus on the biscuits. Whether you're serving 4 or a full table, this combo never disappoints.
