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. Delicious, tender, and flakey, everything about her homemade 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, anyone who entered 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 put together, even for gluten-free cooks, and while many cooks might be fooled by their reputation as a side component of the meal, you may want to rethink their mealtime role and cast them as the star performers.
I love to serve these 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).
Of course, they’re simply delicious, all on their own or dressed up with creamy butter and drizzled with a bit of honey for a final touch of sweetness.
Ultimately, whatever way you choose to serve your biscuits, they will surely make some great food memories for years to come.

Here are 10 more excuses for serving biscuits at mealtime:
1. Biscuits with Scrambled Eggs, Sausage, and Gravy—The ultimate comfort food, savory biscuits and scrambled eggs smothered in sausage gravy don’t get much better!
2. Beans and Biscuits – Biscuits served cowboy-style, smothered in smoky baked beans with bacon.
3. Biscuits Croque Madame – A classic French sandwich made with ham, gruyere, and béchamel and topped with a gooey fried egg!
4. Biscuits Dropped in Stew or Soup – A fresh biscuit front and center on top of a steaming bowl of warm goodness! Break off little bites with every lovin’ spoonful!
5. Day-Old Biscuits – Serve biscuits with milk, cinnamon, and sugar. An old-fashioned breakfast with stick-to-your-ribs goodness!
6. Sweet Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake – At the top of simple yet delicious desserts!
7. Biscuits with Polenta, Eggs, and Bacon – You don’t need to live in the South to enjoy this classic breakfast!
8. Biscuits Topped with Sauce – Many of the same sauces put over pasta work well over biscuits. Growing up, Mom made this white sauce with corned beef for quick meals. Dad called it “S*it On A Shingle.” Despite the unappealing name he gave it, I still think it’s delicious!
9. Biscuit Cobbler – Made savory or sweet for supper or dessert, biscuit cobblers are a fantastic way to warm up your family on chilly fall or winter nights!
10. Biscuit Bread Pudding – A great way to use day-old, oh-so-yummy biscuits!
