What You’ll Need
- Refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters so the dough bakes in bite-size pieces.
- Shredded cheddar. Use 2 cups. Sharp cheddar gives the bites a stronger cheese flavor.
- Melted butter. Drizzle ½ cup evenly over the biscuit pieces just before baking.
How to Get Crisp, Cheesy Edges
Toss the biscuit quarters with the cheddar, then spread them in an even layer. Scatter any cheese left in the bowl over the dough, including around the edges of the dish. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is deeply golden and the biscuit pieces near the center are baked through.
