Ingredients

  • 1 c. finely chopped onion
  • 2 c. Bisquick
  • 2/3 c. Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 c. milk
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp. thyme
  • 2 Tbsp. parsley flakes
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients and mix well until stiff dough forms.
  2. Drop by slightly rounded teaspoonfuls about 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  3. Bake in a 425° oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Tips & Substitutions

For a more intense flavor, consider sautéing the onions before adding them to the dough. If you don't have Parmesan, try using a sharp cheddar or a dairy-free cheese alternative for a different twist. Ensure your dough isn't too wet; if it is, add a bit more Bisquick until it reaches the right consistency. Fresh herbs can also replace dried ones for a fresher taste.

Serving Suggestions

These Herbed Onion Biscuits make a delightful accompaniment to soups and salads, enhancing any meal. They pair beautifully with a hearty vegetable soup or a fresh garden salad. For a complete experience, serve alongside a warm Cheesy Dip for a perfect appetizer spread. Feel free to enjoy them as a savory breakfast option too.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This helps retain their softness and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking. Alternatively, you can freeze the shaped biscuits and bake them directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

What can I substitute for Bisquick?

If you don't have Bisquick, you can create a homemade version by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will work perfectly for your Herbed Onion Biscuits while ensuring they rise beautifully.

Can I add other herbs or spices to the recipe?

Definitely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite herbs, such as rosemary or oregano, for added flavor. A pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika can also provide a delightful kick. Just remember to adjust the quantities according to your taste preferences.
