Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are soft, fluffy biscuits enriched with sharp cheddar cheese and flavored with garlic powder and a touch of cayenne for subtle heat. The dough is mixed with buttermilk and melted butter, rolled and cut into rounds, then baked until golden. A garlic-parsley butter glaze is brushed on top, providing moisture and savory brightness. These biscuits serve well as a savory side or appetizer.
