Gruyere Herb Slab Biscuits

These Gruyere Herb Slab Biscuits are a savory baked treat featuring grated gruyere cheese and fresh chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme. The biscuit dough includes buttermilk and sour cream for moist, tender crumb and is baked in a slab pan for easy cutting. The biscuits develop a golden, puffed crust with flavorful herb and cheese distributed throughout. They can complement soups, salads, or be enjoyed on their own as a snack or breakfast item.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted, for brushing
  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ cup butter cut into small pieces, cold unsalted
  • 8 oz gruyere cheese freshly grated
  • ½ cup rosemary thyme, chives, parsley, sage, chopped fresh herbs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with the melted butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add in the butter and use a fork or pastry blender to work it into the flour, dispersing the small pieces throughout the mixture. Add in the grated cheese and fresh herbs.
  3. Whisk together the buttermilk and sour cream. Pour it into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Press the mixture into the buttered baking dish. Use a knife to score the dough - basically pre-cutting the biscuits to make them easier to cute when finished.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and puffed. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly grated gruyere cheese to ensure even melting.
  • Press the dough firmly into the baking dish and score well before baking to facilitate easy cutting after baking.
  • Let the biscuits cool completely before slicing to maintain their shape.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs according to your preference but keep the quantity similar for balanced flavor.
