Red Lobster Garlic Cheese Biscuits
Soft, cheesy garlic biscuits with a buttery finish, perfect as a warm side for seafood or family dinners, offering savory flavors and a tender crumb.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Bisquick, buttermilk, and shredded Cheddar cheese until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
- Combine melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Brush the garlic butter over the warm biscuits before removing from the cookie sheet.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a cheesy twist, try adding some crumbled feta or mozzarella instead of Cheddar. You can also substitute regular milk for buttermilk; just add a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk to mimic the acidity. Ensure you don’t overmix the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy. Consider serving with Baked Asparagus Royal for a delightful pairing.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect on their own or served alongside a bowl of soup or salad. They also pair beautifully with dishes like Peach Sweet Potato Puffs for a complete meal. For a delicious brunch option, serve them with scrambled eggs and fresh fruit.
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, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through, which helps restore their original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked biscuits. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, you can bake them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I use instead of Bisquick?
If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make your own baking mix by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will give you a similar result and can be used in this recipe without any issues.
How can I make these biscuits healthier?
To make the biscuits healthier, consider using whole wheat flour instead of Bisquick for added fiber. You can also reduce the amount of butter by half and substitute Greek yogurt for some of the buttermilk, which will still keep them moist while cutting down on fat.
