Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven as directed on the biscuit package and spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray coating.
- In a small bowl, combine the grated Romano or Parmesan cheese, crushed dried basil or oregano, and garlic powder.
- Separate the refrigerator biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the skim milk.
- Sprinkle the herb and cheese mixture evenly over the biscuits.
- Bake according to the package instructions or until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley instead of dried herbs. If you're out of Romano or Parmesan cheese, a sharp cheddar can work well too. To elevate the flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of dried thyme. Make sure to brush the biscuits generously with skim milk for a beautiful golden finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these herb biscuits warm as a delightful side to soups or salads. They pair beautifully with a creamy garlic dip or alongside dishes like Day Ahead Mashed Potatoes. For a complete meal, consider serving them with a fresh garden salad or as part of a brunch spread with eggs.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover herb biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warm. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 15-20 seconds, but they may lose their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the herb and cheese mixture in advance and store it in an airtight container. Assemble the biscuits just before baking for the best texture. If you want to make the entire recipe ahead, bake them, then reheat when ready to serve.
What can I substitute for refrigerator biscuits?
If you prefer homemade, you can make your own biscuit dough using flour, baking powder, butter, and milk. Alternatively, use frozen biscuit dough. Just ensure you follow the baking instructions for the specific type you use.
How can I make these biscuits gluten-free?
To make gluten-free herb biscuits, use a gluten-free biscuit mix that requires minimal adjustments. You can also make your own mix using gluten-free flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum to achieve a similar texture as traditional biscuits.
