If you have never eaten something so surprising delightful that you just burst out “ WHOA, WOW, AYE, or OMG!”, then you would not understand the name of these here biscuits. I have seen thousands of social media posts of people showcasing their made from box cheddar biscuits. While they looked tasty, I silently challenged myself to create my very own cheddar and herbs biscuit. Well self, challenge accepted.
I try to make as much from scratch as possible. In my opinion, allotting a little added time in the kitchen to design a beautifully crafted masterpiece is worth the extra effort. However, when a simplified method is available that would still preserve that made from the scratch taste, I say go for it. I have created these biscuits in two ways, one from flour, baking soda, etc. and one building on a prepared buttermilk biscuit mix. I loved them both but using the prepared biscuit mix did cut my ingredients list in half which was certainly a plus. Now, I exclusively use a buttermilk biscuit mix to make these cheesy favorites.
Another reason why I absolutely love these biscuits is that they are super easy to prep and make ahead. If eating the same day, I just prepare the dough, cover, and leave in the fridge for a few hours until I am ready to bake them. If I make a big batch that I know I won’t be able to finish by my lonesome, I just form my unbaked mounds, freeze them on a flat freezer-safe dish, and once they are frozen solid I place them in a freezer-safe bag. Those bad boys will last for 2-3 months. Well, let’s face it, they barely make it to the end of the week before I am popping them in the oven. You may need to add 5-6 minutes to the bake time and don’t forget to make your melted butter toppings. You made them, you loved them, you’re welcome.
Served warm, these flavorsome biscuits compliment most soups, salads, and pastas.

Main Ingredients
- Seasonings * Biscuit*
- Toppings
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease or spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set the baking sheet aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl mix combine buttermilk biscuit mix, milk, cheese, oregano, 1 Tbsp. parsley, and 1 tsp. of garlic powder. The mixture will be sticky and thick. If too thick to mix, add Tbsp. or 2 of milk to help stir.
-
Using hands or spoon, separate into evenly sized mounds. Place dough mounds on the prepared baking sheet. The dough will not expand much while baking but the mounds should not be overcrowded or touching each other.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven for 10-12 minutes. When ready, the edges of the biscuits will be golden brown.
- While biscuits are baking melt butter with the remaining garlic powder, parsley, and seasoning salt.
- Once biscuits are done, brush the melted butter mixture on the fresh from the oven biscuits.

Serve biscuits warm and enjoy!

Wow. I made these for the first time and they taste fantastic. I forgot they were homemade and not from Red Lobster. I will definitely be making these for family and friends.
That’s great to hear! So glad you enjoyed them!
