Biscuits may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of West Virginia. After all, West Virginia was created as a protest against Southern Confederate rule. We may have seen the biscuit sandwich already in Oregon, but it is West Virginia's Tudor's Biscuit World who claims to have invented the sandwich. In this beautiful Morgantown hangover cure, sausage, egg, and cheese replace the fried chicken found in Oregon. Interestingly, just like Oregon's Pine State Biscuits, Tudor's has their inspirational start from North Carolina (North Carolina could not be reached for comment). For years, William and Mae Tudor would stop at a mom-and-pop shop near Mt. Airy, NC, on their way home to Greensboro from their West Virginia vacation. After holding this tradition for nearly 20 years, William and Mae decided to get into the biscuit game themselves in 1975 when they approached Greensboro Pizza joint "Pizzaville" and suggested they may double their sales if they had a breakfast option. When their idea took off, the Tudors decided to go off on their own rather than making "Pizzaville" money. With the emergence of Bojangles in North Carolina in 1977, the Tudors moved to Charleston, West Virginia in 1980 to bring their biscuit recipe to the breakfast-deprived citizens of the Appalachia. From there, Tudor's franchises took off with over 60 locations throughout West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and (checks notes) Florida, all donning the famous yellow wrapping around their warm flaky biscuits.
Ingredients:
1 tube of the Grands biscuits
1 package of frozen sausage patties
8 eggs
8 slices of American yellow cheese.
1. Make the tube of biscuits as instructed, 16 minutes in the oven, 350.
2. Heat a skillet on medium heat, and cook your pre-cooked frozen sausage patty, around 6 minutes.
3. Fry one egg, and place cheese on top when done.
4. Place sausage on the bottom biscuit half and then your egg and cheese on top. Close biscuit with the top half.
5. This tasted a lot better than it should have.
