Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

How to Make Cheesy Biscuits with Creamy Filling

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the milk until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
  6. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-knead any scraps to cut out additional biscuits.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with chopped chives (if using) until smooth. Using your thumb, make a small indentation in the center of each biscuit and spoon about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center.
  8. If desired, beat the egg and brush the tops of the biscuits for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and flaky.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your butter is very cold to achieve the flakiest biscuits.
  • Don’t overwork the dough; mix until just combined for the best texture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a unique twist.

Easy Variations

  • Herbed Biscuits: Add dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the dough for an aromatic flavor.
  • Spicy Twist: Mix in some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Veggie-Packed: Incorporate sautéed spinach or roasted red peppers into the cream cheese filling.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • Scrambled eggs or a frittata for a hearty brunch.
  • A light salad with vinaigrette to balance the richness.
  • Mimosas or coffee to round out the meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. If you prefer a crispy exterior, you can also reheat them in a toaster oven.
