Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits are the perfect savory side for just about any meal, buttery, cheesy, fluffy, and bursting with garlicky flavor. Whether you’re serving them alongside a bowl of chili, a hearty stew, or scrambled eggs for breakfast, these biscuits add a comforting, homemade touch. They’re quick to make, especially since there’s no yeast or rising time involved, and the ingredients are pantry staples for many home cooks.

What makes these biscuits especially appealing is the balance of sharp cheddar cheese with the warmth of garlic. The cheese melts into little pockets throughout the biscuit, while the garlic (whether fresh or powdered) infuses the dough with flavor. Some versions even brush the tops with melted butter and a sprinkle of garlic and herbs after baking for extra richness and aroma.

To make garlic cheddar biscuits, you typically start with all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a bit of salt. Cold butter is cut into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, then shredded cheddar and garlic are stirred in. Milk or buttermilk brings it all together into a soft dough that’s gently rolled and cut into rounds or dropped onto a baking sheet. The key to tender biscuits is not overmixing, just bring the dough together enough to shape it.

These biscuits are also highly adaptable. You can add chopped chives or parsley for a fresh herby note, use smoked paprika for a hint of heat, or switch in different cheeses like Gruyère or Monterey Jack. Leftover biscuits reheat well and can even be used as the base for breakfast sandwiches.

If you’re hosting brunch or need something quick and crowd-pleasing for dinner, garlic cheddar biscuits are a no-fuss way to win everyone over. They’re ready in about 25 minutes, including prep, and the smell alone is enough to get people rushing to the table. Fluffy inside, golden outside, and packed with savory flavor, these biscuits are true comfort food.
