Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Buttermilk: Gradually pour in the cold buttermilk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Knead and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 2: Bake the Biscuits
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Bake: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Omelet Filling
- Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions and bell peppers until they are soft.
- Add Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, stirring gently. Sprinkle in the cheese, herbs, and cooked bacon or sausage (if using).
- Cook the Omelet: Let the eggs cook without stirring until they begin to set. Gently fold the omelet in half or scramble lightly, ensuring the mixture remains slightly moist. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Assemble the Omelet Biscuits
- Slice Biscuits: Carefully slice the warm biscuits in half.
- Fill with Omelet: Spoon a portion of the omelet mixture onto the bottom half of each biscuit. If desired, add an extra sprinkle of cheese or herbs for flavor.
- Serve: Place the other half of the biscuit on top, serving the omelet biscuits warm.
