My Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are a delicious twist for the bread basket. Served warm and filled with garlic and cheddar cheese!
One of the best parts of the holiday meal is the basket of fresh bread or rolls. Coincidently, one of the best parts of Red Lobster are the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I love the serve these garlicy, buttery, and cheesy biscuits whenever I get the chance.
The recipe is so simple and the biscuits go with anything from a chowder to a holiday meal. They are easy to prepare (and even make in advance) and always a crowd favorite.
You do not need any specialty bakery tools to make these. The recipe uses a pastry cutter, but a simple fork from your silverware drawer will work just was well.
The biscuits also freeze wonderfully. Simply freeze them on a baking sheet and then store them in a freezer sealable bag until you are ready to warm them and eat!
