Bread/Biscuits Under 15 Minutes

Cheddar Drop Biscuits

I haven’t been to a certain seafood-themed chain restaurant in a few years (and I won’t say their name here)… but if there’s one thing I think about eating every time I pass by a location, it’s their delicious Cheddar Drop Biscuits! Luckily, I show my Coined Crew how to make them at home for a fraction of the cost – but keeping ALL of the flavors.

I’m a bread girl. Point blank period – whether it’s biscuits, rolls, croissants… any place that serves you bread before the meal is a plus for me. And whenever we went to this seafood spot, I would definitely get full off of these biscuits and a salad before I even got my meal.

While I was shredding up some cheese for my broccoli cheddar soup recipe, the idea to create these babies popped into my head. Of course, I had to follow through. The easiest biscuit recipes are drop biscuit ones – simply mix everything to create a dough, chill, then use a spoon and divide the dough into biscuit portions.

I definitely recommend shredding the cheddar cheese yourself instead of grabbing pre-shredded cheese from the store. You’ll get a much better flavor and texture since we’re not including the preservatives found in the store-bought stuff.

In addition, I’ve found that brushing on some garlic butter before baking really takes these to the next level. First, simply melt a bit of unsalted butter and mix in some Italian seasoning to taste. Brush these on the raw dough balls right before baking. Any extra butter can be used to dip/spread on the biscuits when they are fresh out of the oven – omg!

These Cheddar Drop Biscuits only take about 30 minutes total, including chill time. The dough also freezes pretty well; so if you don’t have self-control with bread (you’re not the only one!), you can portion out the dough a little at a time!
