About Cheesy biscuits

Cheesy biscuits are a savory baked treat, combining the rich flavors of cheddar or other cheeses with the buttery goodness of traditional biscuit dough. Originating from Southern American cuisine, their flaky texture and golden crust come from a blend of all-purpose flour, baking powder, butter, milk, and shredded cheese. While they are loved for their indulgent taste, these biscuits are often high in saturated fat and calories due to the cheese and butter content. However, they provide some dietary protein and calcium from the cheese. Variations can include herbs or reduced-fat cheese for healthier options. Best enjoyed as a side dish, snack, or accompaniment to soups and stews, cheesy biscuits are a comfort food that balances hearty flavor with simplicity, though moderation is key for those mindful of fat and calorie intake.
