Herb Cheese Wedges
Herb Cheese Wedges offer a savory, cheesy snack with aromatic herbs and a hint of wine, perfect for gatherings or as a flavorful side dish.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine Bisquick, dried minced onion, sugar, dried dill, dried basil, and dried oregano in a bowl.
- Mix the egg and milk together; beat slightly.
- Add the egg and milk mixture, melted butter, and Sauterne wine to the dry ingredients.
- Beat until the mixture is well blended.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley instead of dried ones for a more vibrant flavor. If you don’t have Sauterne wine, any light white wine can be a good substitute. If you're looking for vegetarian recipes, you can omit the egg and replace it with a flaxseed meal mixture for a vegan option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these herb cheese wedges warm as a delicious appetizer or snack. They pair beautifully with a light salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal. For an added treat, serve alongside Creamy Dijon Cocktail Sauce for dipping, which complements the flavors perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried?
Yes, you can use fresh herbs, just remember that they are more potent than dried. Generally, you can use three times the amount of fresh herbs as dried. This will enhance the flavor profile of your herb cheese wedges.
What can I substitute for Bisquick?
You can make your own baking mix by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. This will give you a similar texture and flavor to Bisquick for your herb cheese wedges.
How can I make these wedges spicier?
To add some heat, consider mixing in a pinch of cayenne pepper or some crushed red pepper flakes into the dough. This will give your herb cheese wedges a nice kick without overwhelming the original flavors.
