Cream Biscuits and Egg Nests

Trust me. You will never buy store bought biscuits for biscuits and gravy again! OR heck just as a dinner biscuit. These are amazingly tender. AND when you have to find ways of using self rising flour because you didn't pay enough attention at the store this will fit the bill! Now I think I will start keeping the flour around just for these. No joke!

 

Cream biscuits

2 cup self-rising flour, plus more for dusting

1 tbsp sugar

1 1⁄2 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and cream until the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with additional flour. Fold the dough in 1/2 and knead 5 to 7 times, adding just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to your hands. Gently roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter (or glass because you're not cool enough for a biscuit cutter) coated with flour, cut dough into biscuits. Place on baking sheet coated with cooking spray, leaving at least 1-inch between each biscuit. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

An additional tastyness would be to brush them with melted butter. Just saying.

 

Egg Nests are up next. I made these for breakfast meal prep for my hubby. He can just pop them out of the freezer in the am and by the time he is done with the gym and PT they are thawed and ready to be heated.

Ingredients:

 

Lunch meat ( I used deli turkey and ham)

9 eggs

1/4 heaping cup cottage cheese (makes them very fluffy)

Salt

Pepper

Veg you wish to add

Shredded cheese to sprinkle on top

 

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 350.

Layer lunch meat into a cupcake tin. The turkey was large enough for just one slice but the ham required 2 whisk the rest of your ingredients together except the shredded cheese. Use an ice cream scoop to fill the meat nest. Make sure to leave room for the egg to rise as it bakes. Sprinkle Cheese on top. Bake for 20-25 min. Depending on how much veg you put into the egg mixture it will make 12-16 egg nests.
