    • 📖 Recipe: Cheese Biscuit With Herbs

    🔪 How Do You Make These From Scratch?

    Undoubtedly, what's amazing about this recipe is that you most likely have all the ingredients in your kitchen!

    - All-purpose flour: you got some, right?
    - Baking powder & baking soda: check or add them to the shopping list.
    - Salt and oregano: always available
    - Butter: a staple, I always keep an emergency one in the freezer, I use salted butter by the way.
    - Cheese: any grated cheese will work great: shredded cheddar cheese, Emmental, mozzarella, etc
    - Milk: I use the 2% one

    First, in a big bowl, pour all the dry ingredients, add in some melted butter. Incorporate fully. Then, add in the milk and mix again. Lastly, pour in the cheese of your choice.

    You are done! Prepare a baking sheet and using 2 tablespoons, scoop small balls of batter into cheese drop biscuits.

    📖 Variations

    Obviously, this recipe can be made to your liking so feel free to think of other ingredients that can be used!

    Cheese: You can use any other grated cheese: old cheddar, parmesan, Emmental or provolone.
    Herbs: If you don't have oregano, you can switch it up for thyme, rosemary or even a blend such as Herbes de Provence.
    Garlic: You can add some more garlicky powder or freshly chopped.
    Meat: You can add some pieces of ham or bits of cooked bacon for a smoked flavour.

    How Can I Eat Them?

    Breakfast: Slice these babies and add a fried egg and a piece of ham! The perfect option for a breakie to go.

    Lunch: Look at this grilled duck salad and replace the sliced bread with a cheese biscuit, how does that sound? Hungry yet?

    Dinner: Not pasta dinner is complete without a nice piece of cheesy biscuit.

    What Goes Well With A Cheese Biscuit?

    In addition to being light, buttery, and delicious, this recipe is a great one to do with your next brunch or breakfast if you eat savoury, the kids' lunch box, or a snack. Without a doubt, my favourite way to enjoy them is with a nice salad in the summer or a velvety soup in the winter.

    And these would be my favourite salad recipes:

    - My chopped Caprese salad

    - And, my roasted vegetable salad

    - My French summer soup: Soupe au pistou

    - And my creamy butternut squash soup

    💭 Cooking FAQ

    Do Cheese Biscuits Need To Be Refrigerated?

    Keep them in an air-tight container in the fridge. Enjoy at room temperature or warm it up in the microwave for 10 seconds or so.

    How Long Can You Store the biscuits?

    I would not keep the biscuits longer than 3 or 4 days in the fridge. If you are storing them at room temperature, I would eat them within 24 hours.

    Can I Freeze The Cheese Biscuits?

    Yes, I would recommend freezing them the day they have been baked so they keep their freshness.
