Savory Bacon, Cheddar Cheese & Scallion Biscuits
Like a warm hug, there’s no better way to bake love ♥ than with biscuits! Make these homemade gluten-free biscuits to serve flakey, tender Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, and Scallion Biscuits for your next meal!
My great-grandma was a pro at baking biscuits; she could make them like no one else I’ve ever known. Her biscuits will forever be locked in my earliest childhood memories. All I need to do is close my eyes and think about great-grandma’s biscuits, and my senses travel back through time. Walking through the back door into her kitchen, you were met with the sweet aromas of honey, baking biscuits, and the promise of a delicious meal. Like a warm hug, there’s no better way to bake love than with biscuits.
I’ll come up with just about any excuse to include biscuits with a meal. Like anyone would need an excuse to eat biscuits? Right?
Whether savory or sweet, baked biscuits are easy to pull together, even for gluten-free cooks, and while many a cook may be fooled by their reputation of being a side component to the meal, you may want to re-think their mealtime role and cast them as the star performer.
I love to cast this easy savory bacon, cheddar cheese, and scallion biscuits as the centerpiece of sausage and gravy or feature them as the top performer as the French has in Croque Madame (Ham, Cheese, and Fried Egg Sandwich). And, of course, they’re simply delicious, all on their own, served with creamy butter and a little honey for a touch of sweetness.
Whatever way you choose to serve your biscuits, they will surely make some great food memories for years to come.
