Preheat your oven and bake the buttermilk biscuits according to the package instructions or your preferred recipe. Once baked, set aside to cool slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are soft and scrambled. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Slice each biscuit in half horizontally to create a top and bottom half.
Build the sandwich: On the bottom half of each biscuit, layer some of the scrambled eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and one slice (or a handful of shredded) cheddar cheese. Add a splash of hot sauce if desired, then top with the other biscuit half to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Big Breakfast Biscuit Sandwich alongside your favorite sides or beverages.
