Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches

Perfect Pairing:  Runny egg

I don’t know why it took me so long to post about these great breakfast sandwiches!  I made them over the Easter holiday for family.  These are a big step up from your drive-through breakfast sandwich. 
There is nothing too special about the fried egg, and the Canadian bacon, or the biscuits, for that matter.  Those are all pretty standard.  What really makes these sandwiches unique is the cheddar spread.  It is a combination of sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.  It adds a lot of pizzazz.   Strong word, I know. 
If you happen to have some of this spread leftover it is great on crackers or on a cold-cut sandwich.
The Perfect Pairing for this recipe is a runny egg.  There is just something about a slightly runny egg that enhances the flavor and texture of the sandwich.
