Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

These easy Cheddar Cheese Biscuits are soft and cheesy, and flavored with the freshness of the green onion, and the kick of a little cayenne pepper.

I love to serve them with my Creamy Corn Soup, but really they would be great with any soup recipes! Or split them open and fill with turkey, ham or chicken and serve them as little sandwiches

Nothing as Easy as a Drop Biscuit

  • You’ll love how easy these biscuits come together! There’s no rolling or cutting out biscuits on a messy floured board. 
  • All you do is whisk the dry ingredients, work the butter in with your hands, add the fresh ingredients and milk and stir!
  • Then all you have to do is scoop them out with an ice cream scooper and bake!

The Texture:

The texture is light and fluffy, and you’ll love the freshness or the green onions. You could also leave out the cayenne pepper and add diced Jalapeno peppers too. They also make a great brunch bread too when served alongside my Puffy Egg Bake Casserole Recipe

Serving Suggestions:

  • I love to serve these biscuits with my corn soup recipe, but they are also great with my Tortilla Soup recipe, Creamy Broccoli Soup, or Potato and leek soup too!
  • If you have any leftover, you can allow them to cool, and pop them in a ziploc bag and freeze.
  • Then to reheat either microwave them in :30 increments, wrapped in a paper towel, or pop in your air fryer at 300F.
