Barbecue Biscuits with Soft Fried Egg

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

There’s breakfast, and then there’s barbecue biscuits with soft fried egg – now that is a breakfast that will keep you going all day!  Spicy bbq, flaky biscuit and a creamy fried egg – you may want this for lunch and dinner too!

Barbecue Biscuits with Soft Fried Egg

I have said time and time again that the Southern husband has influenced me in so many ways, culinarily-speaking, pointing me in directions I never thought my tastebuds would go.  Fried green tomatoes.  Okra.  Grits on grits on grits.

And towards the wonderful, the happiness, the reckless abandon of eating barbecue for breakfast.  Tender, spicy, spooned over a warm biscuit and with a soft fried egg dripping down the side barbecue for breakfast.  You’re nodding, right?  Me too.

Now, how you get your barbecue is up to you.  Since we are talking about breakfast (although this is very fine for lunch, dinner and a midnight snack) you are going to want to have your barbecue previously made.  You can either do this yourself (please click here for my all-time favorite bbq recipe) or you can buy the pre-made kind in your supermarket.

And while nothing is better than homemade, I will tell you that in a pinch the Southern husband and I have gotten the supermarket kind, and with the right kind of bbq sauce it is just fine.  In our house, that means one sauce and one sauce only.

barbecue sauce

Stubbs bar-b-q sauce comes in all different flavors, and if you dunk your bbq in any of them it will take you to whole new heights of bbq heaven.  Trust me.

Barbecue Biscuits with Soft Fried Egg

As for the biscuits, you can get as plain (as in biscuits made with Bisquick, which are always reliable and good) or fancy (as in these cream cheese and chive numbers that I posted about last week).  Whatever biscuit road you travel down, just make sure you time things so they are nice and warm when you are ready to dish everything up.

Split them in half, and then cover them with a generous amount of sauced-up barbecue.  Now gently place a soft fried egg over the top of the whole thing, and cut into it just enough that the creamy yolk runs down the side.

I know.  I know!!

Here’s the recipe.

Description

There’s breakfast, and then there’s barbecue biscuits with soft fried egg – now that is a breakfast that will keep you going all day!


Ingredients

  • 4 biscuits, warmed and split
  • 2 cups barbecue
  • 1/2 to 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. Heat barbecue in a medium saucepan with sauce (use more or less sauce, depending on how you like it!) until warmed through. Cover pot to keep warm and set aside.
  2. Heat butter in medium-large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is melted but not browned, gently crack eggs into the skillet. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook for 2 minutes. Check them, and if they are not yet done to your liking, turn the heat off and keep the eggs in the skillet, covered, for another minute or so until they are done (you want the yolks a little runny).
  3. Assemble as follows: place a split biscuit on each of four plates, top with barbecue, and top the barbecue with an egg. Serve at once – for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

    oh my word, this looks delicious! I am a big fan of an egg on top of things like burgers, pasta etc, but never tried it on my bbq! I can’t wait to try this!

      Eggs on top of anything are great, aren’t they? I have a burger with egg recipe waiting for me to try it out. :)

    Don’t forget hamburger with fried egg sandwich, or steak and egg sandwich. Then just a good old fried egg sandwich right by itself. If time is short and your family wants BBQ and all I have is a beef roast, I’ll slap the roast into a slow cooker with water to cover and the seasonings you prefer and cook it for 6 hours or until tender. I’ll drain the juices from the roast and reserve the liquid for soups. Pull the roast, place in a lined cookie pan add BBQ, sauce and heat it up. While that’s heating up I toast the buttered buns, cook up some eggs, and assemble the sandwiches. I spend most of my time fixing sandwiches.

      Wow! My stomach started growling just reading that comment! The burger and egg combo was definitely on my list, but the steak and egg – genius!
