This Chive and Cream Cheese Biscuit recipe is the stuff dreams are made of, no kidding. Imagine biting into a biscuit that’s flaky on the outside, yet tender and cheesy on the inside. And those chives? They add a pop of freshness that takes these biscuits from good to “can’t-stop-eating-them” fabulous!
All-purpose flour: The foundation of your biscuits, giving them structure. If you’re going for a healthier twist, you can use half whole-wheat flour. Baking soda & Baking powder: These are your leavening agents, making your biscuits rise and be all kinds of fluffy. No substitutes for these guys! Sugar: A tiny bit balances the flavors. Want to go natural? Use an equal amount of honey or maple syrup. Salt & Black Pepper: These are your flavor enhancers. Feel free to adjust to your own taste buds. Butter: Cold and cubed, this is what makes the biscuits flaky. You could use shortening, but why would you want to miss out on that buttery goodness? Cream Cheese: This adds richness and a tangy kick. Ricotta or mascarpone could also work in a pinch. Buttermilk: This brings moisture and a little tang to the party. No buttermilk? Mix regular milk with a bit of lemon juice or white vinegar. Chives: Freshly sliced chives add a burst of flavor and color. Green onions are a good substitute if chives are MIA at your store. Melted Butter for brushing: This gives the biscuits that golden, irresistible top. Olive oil can work, but the flavor will be a tad different.
Oh, you won’t believe how easy it is to whip up these Chive and Cream Cheese Biscuits! First, toss your dry ingredients together, then cut in that cold, cubed butter and cream cheese until it resembles tiny peas. Mix in your chives and buttermilk—get your hands in there if you want, I know I do! Roll out the dough, cut out your biscuit shapes, and place them on a lined sheet pan. A quick brush of melted butter on top and you’re ready to bake these beauties until they’re golden and fabulous. Trust me, your kitchen is gonna smell like heaven!
Storage
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, just pop them in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days. But here’s the kicker: they freeze like a dream! To freeze, let the biscuits cool completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap and toss them into a zip-top bag. They’ll keep their scrumptiousness for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to feast again, either thaw them at room temperature or give ’em a quick zap in the oven.
