Cheddar and chive biscuits are a delightful savory treat that combines the rich, creamy flavor of cheddar cheese with the fresh, slightly oniony taste of chives. These biscuits are perfect as an accompaniment to a meal, a snack, or even a base for breakfast sandwiches. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also quick and easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 dash of salt, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well-mixed and the cheese is evenly distributed through the flour.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture, ensuring the chives are dispersed throughout the mix.
- Create a well in the center of the dry mixture. Pour in the 1/2 cup of olive oil. Add the egg yolk into the well and begin to mix using a fork or your hands until a soft dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a small amount of water (a teaspoon at a time) until it comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits of your desired size, typically 2-3 inches in diameter. Gather any scraps of dough, re-roll, and cut more biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-inch apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure your oven is preheated before baking the biscuits for the best rise and texture.
- Grate the cheddar cheese finely to ensure it evenly incorporates throughout the dough.
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor; dried chives can be used in a pinch, but they won't have the same impact.
- Don't overmix the dough; this can result in dense, tough biscuits. Mix until just combined.
- For a golden-brown finish, consider brushing the tops of the biscuits with a little melted butter before baking.
- If you prefer a fluffier biscuit, replace the olive oil with cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs before adding the yolk.
With minimal effort and basic ingredients, you've crafted a batch of flavorful cheddar and chive biscuits. These biscuits are a fantastic addition to your culinary repertoire, offering a delectable blend of savory cheddar and fresh chives. Enjoy them warm from the oven or pair them with your favorite meals for an extra touch of comfort and flavor.
