Best 4 2bleus Country Ham Bacon And Eggs Recipes

COUNTRY HAM AND FRIED EGG ON ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening and 1/4 cup butter pats until pea-size bits remain. Add the milk and gently stir until combined. The dough will be wet.
• Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and gently pat into a 9-inch round that is 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into 2-inch rounds using a cookie cutter. Transfer the rounds to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet that has been lightly coated with cooking spray. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove the towel and cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
• Cook's Note: The longer the biscuits stay in the freezer, the lighter and fluffier they become. You can make ahead and just bake off a few as you need them.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the heavy cream and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with the melted butter. Let cool slightly, then sprinkle the top with black pepper and slice open.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter in a small (6-inch) nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat until it begins to sizzle. Add one egg at a time, season top with salt and pepper and cook until the white is set, gently flip over and continue cooking for another minute or so. Flip so the top side is up. Place a few slices of ham on the bottom biscuit and top with the egg, place the other half of the biscuit on top and serve immediately.
• *Cook's Note: It's American prosciutto .
• Blackberry topping:
• Macerate the berries with the sugar in a bowl for about 30 minutes. Put some of the berries on the bottom half of the biscuit. Add whipped cream and top with the other half of the biscuit.

FRENCH EGG AND BACON SANDWICH

Steps:

• Dip bread slices in beaten eggs. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Cook until browned on both sides. Set aside but keep warm.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in pan and fry remaining two eggs.
• Place one piece of French toast on each of two plates. Place the fried eggs on top of the bread, top the eggs with strips of bacon. Cover with the remaining pieces of French toast. Following that by pouring on the syrup.

2BLEU'S COUNTRY HAM BACON (AND EGGS)

Steps:

• Cut the ham slices into about 3" pieces, removing the bone if it has one. The pieces do not have to be cut even, as I usually separate around the fat, leaving some fat for flavor.
• CURED HAM ONLY: (If using leftover baked ham, see instructions below). Place the salt cured ham slices in a large *cast iron* pan (it's okay if they overlap at this point) and add the water, enough to cover the ham slices completely. The water may cook down some, so add more as you go as this removes the saltiness from the ham. The more water in the pan, the better.
• Cook over med heat to a gentle simmer for about 10-15 minutes until most of the salt has dissipated into the water, turning the ham a few times to 'shake the salt out'. Remove ham slices and (using a good potholder) rinse and wipe the skillet with a clean dishcloth. Just a quick rinse/wipe to remove any salt and residue.
• For BOTH types of ham: Place pan back on stove-top at a medium heat. Add the oil to the pan followed by the ham slices. Lay them in a single layer enough to fill pan but not overcrowd them. Do in batches if necessary. Cook for about 10-20 minutes depending on thickness, turning occasionally until browned. Drain ham onto paper towels. Add more oil to the pan if necessary for the next batch, although the ham will usually make it's own in the pan from the previous batch. You only need enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
• EGGS: (about 15 minutes to cook) To a *nonstick* skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat (slow cooked scrambled eggs turn out extremely smooth and creamy). Beat eggs and seasonings until very well blended. When butter has melted, pour in the eggs. As they begin to firm, push them around a bit using a spatula. Continue cooking eggs low and slow while ham is cooking in the iron skillet. The ham should be done first, just place a piece of foil over top to keep warm.
• When the eggs are about a minute from your desired doneness, place onto plates and serve with ham. (remember: scrambled eggs continue to cook after you remove them from the heat).

VINCENT'S COUNTRY BACON AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (If using a countertop induction oven, preheat to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C) or use the "Combo 2" setting.) Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; arrange bacon slices on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is partially cooked through but not crispy, about 10 minutes in the conventional oven and 6 to 7 minutes in the countertop induction oven.
• Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); reduce countertop induction oven temperature to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until spinach turns dark green, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cut four 2-inch holes 3/4 of the way through each loaf, evenly spaced apart, using a small serrated knife. Remove bread cutouts with your fingers; discard or set aside for another use.
• Press 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture into the bottom of each hole. Line each hole with 1 slice of bacon. Crack 1 egg into each hole; top with 1 tablespoon half-and-half. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese over half-and-half. Transfer loaves to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, about 15 minutes.
