Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until dough is soft.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like chives or garlic powder to the dough. If you don't have grated cheese, shredded cheese works just fine. For a gluten-free version, replace Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix. Ensure your dough is not overmixed to maintain a soft texture. Serve these biscuits warm for the best experience.
Serving Suggestions
These Cheese Drop Biscuits are perfect as a side for soups or stews, adding a cheesy, comforting element to your meal. Serve them warm with butter or alongside a fresh salad for a delightful contrast. For a fun twist, try pairing them with the Pina Colada Fruit Dip for a tropical-inspired snack. They also make a great appetizer when served with a dipping sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisped. For longer storage, freeze the biscuits in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of cheese in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use any cheese you prefer or have on hand. Cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses will all work well. Experimenting with flavored cheeses, like pepper jack or feta, can add unique twists to your biscuits.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels overly sticky, try adding a small amount of Bisquick mix, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 1 day. Just keep it covered to prevent drying out. When ready to bake, scoop and drop the dough onto the cookie sheet directly from the fridge, allowing a couple of extra minutes for baking.
