Biscuit Melt
Biscuit melts are cheesy, buttery mini bites perfect for snacks or parties, combining flaky biscuit mix with cheddar cheese and sour cream for a savory treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine biscuit mix, melted margarine, sour cream, and shredded Cheddar cheese, mixing well.
- Spoon the mixture into greased miniature muffin tins, filling each half full.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, consider substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream, which will add protein and a tangy flavor. If you don’t have biscuit mix, you can easily make your own with flour, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to mix just until combined to keep the biscuits tender. Try adding herbs or spices to the mixture for an extra flavor boost, similar to variations found in vegetarian recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These Biscuit Melts make a fantastic appetizer or snack, especially when served warm. Pair them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh salad to balance the richness. They also complement breakfast dishes well, making them a great addition to a brunch spread. Consider serving alongside Walker'S Corn Delight for a delightful variety.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Biscuit Melts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help maintain their fluffy texture and prevent them from becoming soggy in the microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or even a mix of cheeses for added flavor. Just ensure that the cheese you choose melts well to achieve that gooey texture.
What if I don't have miniature muffin tins?
If you don't have miniature muffin tins, you can use a regular muffin tin. Just be sure to adjust the baking time, as regular-sized muffins may require a few extra minutes in the oven to cook through.
Can I freeze these Biscuit Melts?
Yes, you can freeze Biscuit Melts! Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 2 months; reheat directly from the freezer.
