Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Combine baking mix, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, minced chives, and minced oregano in a bowl.
- Cut 1/4 cup cold margarine into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Add margarine pieces to the baking mix and toss with a fork until coated.

Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, consider using freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated. If you don't have chives or oregano, you can substitute with dried herbs or other fresh herbs like thyme or basil. To add a bit of kick, try incorporating a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Mixing in some garlic powder can also elevate the flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
These Parmesan Cocktail Biscuits make a delightful appetizer or snack and pair beautifully with dips such as hummus or tzatziki. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or as a side to your favorite soup. For a fun twist, try them with the New Potato Bake for a comforting meal.
