Servings: 8-10
Ingredients
For the Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 1 1/3 cup Heinen’s hand-selected fondue cheese blend
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1 Tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp. parsley, freshly chopped
- 2 Tbsp. green onion, freshly chopped
- 6 Tbsp. Heinen’s unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 Heinen’s cage free brown egg
- 1 cup Heinen’s unflavored almond milk, or butter milk
For the Herb Butter Topping
- 4 Tbsp. Heinen’s unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. parsley, freshly chopped
- Heinen’s shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Like a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, fondue cheese blend, baking powder, garlic powder, Old Bay, green onions and parsley.
- Work the cold cubes of butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a fork. The dough should look like chunky cornmeal.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredient mixture and mix until a wet, sticky dough forms. Be careful not to over mix or the biscuits won’t be as flaky. If the dough is dry, add a splash of milk.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 mounds and place them 2 inches apart on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with extra shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the herb butter topping.
- After 15 minutes, remove the biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with the herb butter. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy!
