Green eggs and Ham Biscuit

I was watching Iron Chef America very late the other night as I am an insufferable night owl and the secret ingredient was egg. I joined  the episode late and saw only the presentation to the judges. Bobby Flay had made green eggs and ham with a biscuit for one of his dishes. When he described the eggs as having been infused with basil I thought "wow, what a great idea that sounds delicious!" Not having seen the whole episode I had no idea how he did it but I thought I could make up my own version and yes it did turn out as delicious as they made it sound on TV.

First of all, I bought some little ham slices just the size of my biscuits and fried them up in a skillet.
Meanwhile I made some biscuits. You can use your own recipe but here is mine.

Biscuits
2 C flour
1 T baking powder
1 t salt
1 C whipping cream

Combine flour,baking powder and salt. Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form and stir into flour mixture until blended. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth about 10 to 15 times. Roll dough out to about a 1/2 in thick and then cut with a 3 in biscuit cutter. Repeat with leftover dough. Place on baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for about 12 min. or until lightly browned. It makes about 6.

Eggs
6 large eggs
1/3 C whipping cream
4 T pesto (my homemade recipe that I used is on my vegan pizza post just the non-vegan version)

In a bowl beat eggs with the cream and pesto. Heat up a nonstick skillet on med. heat and add 1 t butter to the pan. Coat the pan and when it sizzles add the eggs and scramble till done. Salt and pepper to taste.

Split open the biscuits and butter the inside slightly. Assemble the biscuit with 2 slices of ham and a pile of eggs.

    2. Yeah it's really annoying, I can't have whatever I want because everything is seasonal when it comes to baking and cooking in this house.
