You can keep it simple with a pat of butter or make it sweet with a spread of jam. You can pour gravy on top or sandwich a fried egg and cheese in between. Case in point, the breakfast biscuit should not be underestimated. This warm, doughy treat crosses culinary cultures and is far from a basic bread. With speckles of green shining through their golden tops, these dairy-free chive biscuits will always over-deliver — no matter who’s around the table.
