Ingredients
  • 8 eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ pound pork belly strips, cut into ¼-inch wide pieces
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup freshly shredded cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
  • 4 slices Colby Jack cheese
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 F.
  2. To make the egg patties, first combine the eggs, heavy cream, and salt in a blender.
  3. Blend until frothy and combined.
  4. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the egg mixture into a loaf pan sprayed with grease.
  5. Place the loaf pan into a casserole dish and fill the casserole dish with 1 inch of water.
  6. Cover the loaf pan with foil, then place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Uncover and bake another 15 to 20 minutes, or until set.
  8. In the meantime, make the lardons. Place the pork belly strips into a bowl and toss them with hot honey until well coated.
  9. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  10. Add the pork belly and cook, stirring often, until crispy and deeply golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  11. When the eggs are done, make the biscuits. Turn the oven up to 450 F.
  12. Cube 4 tablespoons of butter and combine it with the flour and the cream cheese, using your fingers to incorporate.
  13. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk, using your hands to slowly incorporate the flour into the liquid until a wet dough forms.
  14. Add the cheddar and chives and gently combine them into the biscuit dough.
  15. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it to ½-inch thickness.
  16. Using a biscuit cutter, cut 6 biscuits out of the dough, reshaping it gently as needed.
  17. Place the biscuits in a cast iron skillet or round baking pan so that the sides of the biscuits are touching. Melt the last tablespoon of butter and brush it across the biscuits.
  18. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 16 minutes, or until the biscuits are risen and golden brown.
  19. To build the sandwiches, slice the biscuits in half. Cut an egg patty to fit and place it on the biscuit.
  20. Add the sliced cheese, then return to the oven to melt for 2 minutes.
  21. Remove the biscuits from the oven and add the glazed pork belly pieces. Top with the top of the biscuit to serve.
