Is there anything better than a BLT for breakfast? Yes, there is, you see, when that BLT is served on a homemade biscuit!
Now before you start rolling your eyes and get all “that’s so complicated, I hate you for even mentioning homemade biscuits” let me tell you how easy they are…
How to Make Homemade Sweet Pepper Biscuits
Like I was saying… they are SO easy! No need for kneading (no pun intended) and you don’t even have to let them rise! Oh, and did I mention, they are made entirely in the food processor!? Yep, they are a one bowl kind of biscuit – are you in?
We’ll start by first chopping up the Divine Flavor Tribelli Mini Sweet Peppers. We have them to thank for giving our biscuits that sweet, fresh pepper taste as well as making them a pretty pinky-orange hue! Did you know that Divine Flavor Tribelli Mini Sweet Peppers are sustainably grown in greenhouses so we have the pleasure of enjoying them all year long!? Win-Win-Win!
Once you have chopped the peppers up nice and fine in the food processor you add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix that all up and then add the butter. It is very important to use cold butter in biscuit making, we don’t want the butter to fully combine with the flour because then it will form more or those flakey layers we are after! So do yourself a favor and freeze the butter for at least 20 minutes prior to adding it into the dough.
After the butter has been pulsed into the dough, add the honey and then slowly pour in the buttermilk. The dough is going to start to form a ball, once it does, stop the food processor and you are ready to roll!
Make sure you flour your hands and the surface you are rolling the dough on to. Roll out the dough so it is 1-inch thick. Using a 2-inch wide circular cookie cutter, cut the biscuits out of the dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the biscuits for about 10 minutes at 425°F.
How to Make A Sweet Pepper Biscuit Breakfast BLT
Now that we have the biscuits baking it’s time to prep our BLT ingredients! We’ll need slices of romaine lettuce, slices of tomatoes and we’ll fry up some bacon and eggs! Once your bacon and eggs are cooked to your liking and the biscuits are out of the oven it’s time to assemble! You will have the best results if you use the biscuits fresh out of the oven. Slice them in half and then layer on the lettuce, tomato slices, bacon and an egg! Pop the top on and dive into breakfast heaven!
