On Sunday’s I like to go all out an make a really delicious dinner. I make lots of sides and sometimes I even make dessert, all from scratch. We have a nice glass of wine and linger at the table a little longer then normal. This is one of our favourite weekend traditions. These biscuits are a highly requested Sunday night side. They go well with just about everything.
These biscuits are so savoury and delicious. They’re rich yet light and so easy to make. The chives in these biscuits add a delicious light onion flavour to these biscuits that pairs really well with cheese in these biscuits. Plus the chives cut the richness in the biscuits and add a freshness.
I love to serve these at a bbq, but I’ve brought these to thanksgiving before and they were a big hit. They’re also super delicious with chicken soup. And if there are leftovers they go great with eggs and bacon for breakfast! I’ve even make these in a large size and used them for egg sandwiches (so yummy!).
These biscuits are also super easy to make. They only use one bowl and since they are drop biscuits there’s not rolling and cutting. Just scoop them out, and drop them on the tray! So dang easy and such a crowd pleaser. Let me know if you try these, I’m sure you’ll love them!
