Description:
Indulge in the delightful flavors of Three-Cheese & Chive Biscuits! These savory treats combine the richness of three cheeses with the freshness of chives, resulting in biscuits that are both fluffy and bursting with flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups biscuit mix
- 1 cup skim milk
- 3/4 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
- Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it lightly with cooking spray.
-
Mixing the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, 14 tablespoons of milk, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled blue cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and finely chopped chives.
- Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the ingredients together until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
-
Kneading the Dough:
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface.
- Knead the dough gently 3 to 4 times to bring it together.
-
Rolling Out the Dough:
- Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
-
Cutting Out the Biscuits:
- Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut out the biscuits from the rolled dough. Avoid twisting the cutter, as this can prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
-
Baking:
- Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk. This will help give them a golden-brown finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serving:
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Serve the Three-Cheese & Chive Biscuits warm, either on their own or as a delightful accompaniment to soups, salads, or your favorite main dishes.
