Cheesy Herb Drop Biscuit Recipe
Description
Cheesy Herb Drop Biscuits combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, a mix of fresh chopped herbs like parsley, cilantro, dill, rosemary, and oregano, along with finely minced garlic. Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses add a smooth, savory dimension to the dough. The wet ingredients include milk, vegetable oil, and melted butter for moisture and richness.
After mixing the dry and wet ingredients until just combined to avoid toughness, the thick biscuit dough is dropped in even dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Baking at 400°F for around 15 minutes produces lightly browned biscuit tops. Brushing melted butter on them while hot enhances flavor and adds a golden finish.
These biscuits offer a tender, slightly crumbly texture with bursts of herbaceous, cheesy, and garlicky notes. They serve well alongside soups, salads, or roasted dishes, adding a fresh and rich bread component without needing to shape or roll dough.
For a shortcut, garlic powder can substitute fresh garlic. Self-rising flour can replace the flour+baking powder+salt combination, omitting those additional leaveners. Handle the dough gently to maintain a tender crumb.
