Tips & Variations

  • For a veggie boost, try adding sautéed spinach or kale instead of raw to reduce moisture.
  • Swap cheddar for feta and include garlic for a Mediterranean twist.
  • Use cooked bacon or turkey sausage for a classic hearty flavor.
  • If you prefer spicy, mix in jalapeños and red bell peppers.

Storage

Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap each biscuit individually or place them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 45–60 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F for 10–12 minutes.
