• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-in cubes
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Eggs:
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place prosciutto on baking sheets. Bake until crispy, about 15 - 20 minutes. Let cool. Crumble into pieces. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl add milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cheese, salt and pepper. Using your fingers, mix in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal texture.

7. Cook until eggs are creamy but set, scramble to your liking. Sprinkle with salt.
8. Assemble biscuits and eggs sandwich. Wrap individually in foil and freeze.
9. Reheat in a 425 oven for 7 to 10 minutes.

Stuffed Breakfast Quesadilla
Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 8 eggs
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
• 12 oz ground breakfast sausage
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 5 12-inch flour tortillas
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 to 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
Steps
1. In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter. Scramble eggs with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Remove and set aside.
2. Brown the sausage with paprika, remaining salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain any fat. Set aside.
3. Place a large tortilla on a workstation. Spread 1 tablespoon of refried beans on the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheese. Equally divide eggs and sausage among the 5 tortillas. Tightly fold the edges of the large tortilla towards the center, creating pleats. Invert so the pleats are on the bottom and they stay together.
4. In a 10 in cast iron, over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Place wrap seam-side down and cook until tortilla is golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until the other side is golden. Let cool completely. Wrap individually and freeze.

White vinegar works in place of lemon juice when DIYing your buttermilk. And the vinegar is reasonably cheap, multifunctional, and won't eventually spoil like the lemon will.

“I now pronounce you person and person” Frankie is a woke king 🤴😤🤧

[briannab]

Oh how I missed his extreme ranting about how life can be a struggle but a good meal doesnt have to be!

[garaj]

I click on these videos for the excellent recipes and stay in the comments for the people who don't understand how grocery shopping works ( "Ha! You can't buy 25 cents of milk!")

[jr]

I love these... but I think its time we put in the cost of the condiments.
I havnt gone to a restarant in months, let alone fly on a plane for that Tabasco.

[sabrinanicole]

He missed the opportunity to say ‘that’s a wrap’ after the third item 😹 This series is the bees knees though

[shywolf]

Please consider adding reheating instructions.

[taylorh]

He couldn’t be more right about never using all the butter milk. Happens every. Single. Time.

1. Loving the piggy bank action 2. Not eating breakfast is my worst habit so this is fab thanks!! 😂

[jasminecollins]

Plain yogurt also makes a good replacement for buttermilk. I always make pancakes with yogurt. If you need more liquid, you can do half yogurt and half normal milk.

[armalantlitez]

I have handheld whisk and a whisk machine but I still prefer using my trusty struggle whisk 7500

I love that Frankie included the way to make buttermilk from scratch (milk + lemon juice = buttermilk). But if anyone does have extra buttermilk, you can marinate chicken in buttermilk so there won't be any waste. Roasting/baking chickens marinated in buttermilk is delicious 😍. Another plus side is that marinated chickens marinated in buttermilk is similar to having an insurance because you can overcooked the chicken ten minutes and it'll still turn out delicious 😋 🐔

[quinitawhitfield]

Vinegar is great for buttermilk too. Idk about ya'll but I always have a gallon of white vinegar in my house. So using it to make buttermilk makes economical sense

[mrs.bstotz]

Wow... these recipes r brilliant. I have five mouths to feed. These recipes will b perfect! Thax for sharing.

[MissChonny]

I absolutely love this guys energy. Never lose him!

[minimartinii]

Maybe think about some reused mason jars or bowls and skip the disposable plastic containers - recipes still rock!
