With Thanksgiving just around the corner you may be realizing you just won’t have the time to prepare rolls and wait for them to rise. And that is where these beloved Cheddar-Chive Drop Biscuits step in to save the day!
Cheddar-Chive Drop Biscuits
They are a breeze to make (you don’t even need to cut out biscuits, just drop the dough straight onto the baking sheet) and they’re ready in no time. No floury countertop mess, no cutting and re-rolling and no rise time. Just toss it, drop it, bake them and enjoy them warm from the oven. This are a biscuit you aren’t going to forget about trust me!
Here this cheese is the best part of these biscuits it really is! You break into one of these warm biscuits and you’ll see that warm melty cheese and you just know good things are to come.
These biscuits are fancy enough for a holiday get together yet they are simple enough to make as part of a weeknight meal. They’re so good that they’ll quickly become the highlight of any meal!
They have the perfect soft and tender texture, they’re moist (one thing that often turns me away from biscuits is that they can be dry but these are anything but), and they have the perfect balance of flavors. Just be sure to serve them warm, it’s the only way to eat a biscuit in my opinion. Add them to your holiday menu, you won’t regret it!
