Biscuit Dough
If using the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Compact you can start heating the oven once you've mixed the dough but otherwise you'll want to preheat your oven even before starting on the dough!
Turn the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet or the baking tray from the smart oven with a piece of parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Thinly slice the butter and toss it into the dry ingredients. Rub the butter slices into the flour mixture until thin and flaky.
Grate in the white cheddar and stir with a fork to combine.
Add in the ricotta and cut it in with a fork. Try to fold and cut the dough instead of stirring it.
Chop the greens of the ramps and briefly mix them into the dough.
Shape the dough in a large ball and place it on the parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush the top with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with flaky salt.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until it becomes a pale golden brown.
If adding the egg, take the biscuit out now, if not, bake for another 5 minutes until it becomes a deep golden brown.
If adding the egg, turn the oven down to 350 F. Use a spoon or a pairing knife to cut a hole in the top of the biscuit almost all the way to the bottom. The hole needs to be relatively big to fit the whole egg inside.
Gently crack the egg into the hole, then place the biscuit with the egg back into the oven and bake for another 15 -20 minutes until the white is set.
Take the biscuit out of the oven and add a little salt and pepper to taste on top of the egg and enjoy!
Optionally serve with a side of crispy bacon to dip into the egg.
