The Sage Egg Biscuit Surprise is a great breakfast treat and a healthy meal on it’s own. Hidden inside the biscuit is a beautiful soft boiled egg with a still runny yolk.
#twelveloaves is a great group where we bake a bread with the addition of the monthly theme, flavor or ingredient. This month we were asked to explore Thanksgiving Biscuits and Rolls. In Canada, Thanksgiving has come and gone already but who does not love a good biscuit, I had to join in the fun. I fell in love with this Sage Egg Biscuit Surprise recipe and it may be a better Thanksgiving Brunch option for you.
So I am a few days late this month posting my Egg Biscuit but you can still find the link to all those who made the deadline at the bottom of the post. It has not been a good 4 weeks for me health wise. I got a cold/allergies when the windows shut and the heating went on. The next week was bad allergies. The 3rd week was general asthma. It took another few days to go to a clinic and be diagnosed with severe bronchitis. So now I am on antibiotics (bad for you but AWESOME) but I keep sneezing once in a while. Well….I sneezed so hard I pinched a nerve in my back! So bed rest for 2 days! I posted my ordeal on Facebook and it turns out this type of injury is not uncommon.
I finally made the Egg Biscuit the fist day out of bed. I was a bit ambitious to make these first thing in the morning but I wanted them for breakfast. I adapted a recipe over on No Recipes. I did not want to fuss with the cheese and I changed the herb to sage. Oh and I used sour cream instead of yogurt.
Not sure if it was my modification but this Egg Biscuit dough – no easy to work with. I mostly got the eggs covered but it was not perfect. In the end I am still happy with how my Sage Egg Biscuit Surprise turned out. I really love the fact that I learned to prepare a soft-boiled egg. I adore a runny egg yolk, it is the BEST! So will be preparing like this again very soon.
What is the weirdest way you have pinched a nerve?
How do you like your yolks?
Sage Egg Biscuit Surprise
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 130 grams all-purpose flour ~1 cup

- Add the butter evenly distributed over the dry ingredients and the sage. Pulse briefly a few times until the mixture has a sandy texture.
