Pepper Jack Cheese and Herb Biscuits
These easy homemade pepper jack cheese and herb biscuits are a perfect side dish to any meal! These homemade biscuits are made with heavy whipping cream, which gives them a light and flaky texture. The spice and flavor of the pepper jack cheese pairs perfectly with the herbs, making these my newest obsession!
Ingredients
Pepper Jack & Herb Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp dried herbs (fresh would work as well, such as an Italian herb blend)
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup whipping cream
Topping
- 1/4 cup melted butter (for brushing on top)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and dried herbs together.
- With a pastry cutter or fork, work butter into the flour mixture, until the mix is crumbly.
- Add in pepper jack cheese, and mix.
- Lastly, add in whipping cream, and mix just until the dough comes together.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out biscuit dough and knead 2 or 3 times, just until dough comes together in a ball. Pat the dough into a circle, about 3/4" thick. With a 2" biscuit cutter (or any size you want), cut out the biscuits and place on the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter. Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
- Enjoy!
