Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Put the Bisquick, cheese, grated onion, egg, and sweet milk into a mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into a greased muffin tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, melt margarine, and pour over the biscuits before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using sharp cheddar cheese instead of regular cheese. You can also substitute the sweet milk with buttermilk for a tangy twist. If you're short on time, pre-grated cheese is a convenient option. Make sure to grease the muffin tin well to ensure easy removal of the biscuits. For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs like chives or thyme.
Serving Suggestions
These Fancy Cheese and Onion Biscuits are perfect as a snack or served alongside soups and salads. They pair beautifully with a fresh garden salad or a bowl of hot tomato soup. For a delightful brunch, serve them with Mrs. Felicia'S Peanut Candy for a sweet contrast. Enjoy them warm, drizzled with melted margarine for extra richness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as gouda, mozzarella, or even a spicy pepper jack for a kick. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary, so choose a cheese that melts well and complements the other ingredients.
What if I don't have Bisquick?
If you don’t have Bisquick on hand, you can make a homemade substitute by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This will work similarly and yield great results in your biscuits.
Can I freeze the biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze these biscuits! Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator and reheat as directed.
