Making fresh homemade biscuits couldn’t be much easier. You can whip up a batch of Garlic & Cheddar Cheese Drop biscuits in about 20 minutes.
With just a hint of garlic these cheesy biscuits make the perfect companion to a hearty bowl of soup, chili or stew. Plus they are cheesy and delicious.
These cheese biscuits are similar to Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay biscuits. I think what makes them different is we use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder or Old Bay Seasoning, and we don’t top them with fresh parsley. I wanted this recipe to use ingredients most people have on hand.

Ingredient Notes
biscuit mix– we like Heart Smart Bisquick but any premade mix will work.
cheddar cheese– freshly grated or pre-shredded cheese both work great. We almost always use pre-shredded sharp cheddar cheese to make this recipe as easy as possible. You can also change up what type of cheese you use; mild cheddar cheese, Colby Jack cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese would all work great. You can even use Pepper Jack cheese to add a little kick.
milk– I usewhole milkbecause that is what I have in the fridge, 2% milk orskim milkcan be used.I have not made these biscuits using dairy free milk.
garlic– we buy the chopped garlic that comes in a jar, fresh garlic can be used.
butter–unsalted butteris best, or you can use margarine if that is what you have.
How to make these easy drop biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line one large or two small rimmed baking sheets withparchment paper.
- Add thebiscuit mix, one cup of the cheese and one-half teaspoon of the minced garlic in a largemixing bowl, stir until combined.
- Stir in the milk and mix until just combined.
- Drop by heaping tablespoons onto theparchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake 10 minutes.
- Melt butter in a small skillet or saucepan and add the garlic to themelted butter, let sit on low heat while the biscuits are baking.
- Brush the top of the biscuits with thegarlicbuttermixtureand top with additionalcheddar cheese, bake for 5 more minutes or untilgolden brown.
Tips
- You can use shortening or cooking spray on the baking sheet if you don’t haveparchment paper.
- When adding thewet ingredientsto thedry ingredientsdo not over-mix them.
- You don’t have to worry about getting the biscuits all the same size because you can just add more to any that need it after you have twelve portions on the baking sheet.
- Take care not to get too much of the chopped garlic that is in the butter on thetops of the biscuitsso there isn’t too much on any one.
- Bake biscuits on theoven rackclosest to the center of the oven forbest results.
Storage & Reheating
Storeleftover biscuitsin anairtight containeratroom temperaturefor several days. As with any freshly baked good they start to dry out and not be as good after a couple of days.
We reheat ourcheesy garlic drop biscuitsin the microwave for about 1 seconds, this varies greatly by microwave so find what works best in your microwave starting at about 10 seconds.
