Cheese-Stuffed Biscuits: A Delicious Appetizer Recipe
Looking for a mouth-watering appetizer that's easy to make and sure to impress your guests? Look no further than these Cheese-Stuffed Biscuits! This dish is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a fancy dinner party.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure your butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
- Don't overwork the dough! Mix until just combined, then stop. Overmixing can result in tough biscuits.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits in half for stuffing. A dull knife can squish the biscuits and make them harder to work with.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the milk to the mixture and stir until just combined.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
6. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out 8 biscuits.
7. Cut each biscuit in half horizontally and place a spoonful of shredded cheddar cheese and chopped parsley on the bottom half.
8. Place the top half of the biscuit back on and press the edges together to seal.
9. Place the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Appearance and Taste:
These Cheese-Stuffed Biscuits are a beautiful golden brown on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The melted cheddar cheese and fresh parsley add a burst of flavor that will have your guests coming back for more. Serve them warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
