The Cheddar Biscuit!

In the Fall of 2007 I found myself at Magnolia Fest.  A four day long outdoor music festival along the Suwanee River in Florida.  I was there camped out with a dozen or so friends, listening to live music from the likes of Toots and the Maytals, Railroad Earth, Donna the Buffalo and many more.

As with any good camping trip of that size there must be several chefs.  One morning I was put in charge of breakfast and set out to make a Toad in the Hole.  For those of you that do not know a Toad in the Hole is a piece of toast with a hole in the middle and a fried egg on the inside.  that alone makes a fine breakfast but my goal that morning was to be a bit more creative.

I had the idea to fry one side of the egg and then flip it and throw some cheese on and another piece of bread to turn it into a grilled cheese(sort of).  The first few were a little rough around the edges but soon I mastered what became known as the Cheddar Biscuit.

Its been five years since then but it is still a staple to my camping breakfast menu.  I have made them for friends all over the country and even clients on the river.

The cheddar biscuit is very simple and that is the beauty of it.  You can add multiple ingredients to spruce or spice it up but I prefer mine simple.
