Can you really have strawberry shortcake for breakfast? Absolutely!!! This mouthwatering breakfast version is perfect for brunch too!
How pretty are these little strawberry shortcakes!!! Almost too pretty to eat! Almost…I can tell you it is just as tasty as it is pretty. Also it is quick to make. That is always a plus especially when it comes to breakfast. I used my recipe for Sweet Breakfast Biscuits for this recipe. I usually serve these sweet biscuits alone, but the idea of strawberry shortcake for breakfast was too genesis to pass over! It is definitely a keeper!
Making the shortcakes:
- Preheat the oven and line some cookie sheets with parchment or spray them with non-stick cooking spray. If you have parchment, it is really the way to go for these. Mix up the dough according to the recipe instructions. Pat it out on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured fingers until it is a little more than a 1/2 inch thick. Use a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter to cut out about 10 biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared pan and brush the tops with heavy cream.
- After the tops have been brushed with the cream, sprinkle the tops generously with granulated sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes. The bottom edges should be slightly golden. Cool on a wire rack until the biscuits are near completely cool and prepare the strawberries and whipped cream.
Assembly:
- Carefully slice the biscuits in half.
- Top with some strawberries.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Top with the top half of the biscuit. Add more whipped cream and strawberries to the top and serve!
What to serve with these:
You can never go wrong with some Orange Julius! Omelets also make a delicious choice. Check out these Gorgonzola Veggie Omelets! Or perhaps a Bacon Mushroom Omelet with Cheese! This Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole would also go great with these!
