Total time: 25 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups All-purpose Flour (substitute with a gluten-free blend if needed); 1/2 cup Freshly Grated Asiago Cheese (feel free to use Parmesan as an alternative); 1 tbsp Baking Powder (ensure it’s fresh for the best rise); 1 tbsp Sugar (swap for brown sugar for a deeper taste); 1 tsp Kosher Salt (avoid table salt for well-balanced seasoning); 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Rosemary (thyme or oregano can substitute); 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Sage (reduce if using dried sage); 1 cup Heavy Cream (whole milk can lighten things up); 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted (consider olive oil as a dairy-free alternative); 1/2 cup Remaining Asiago Cheese (sprinkle on top before baking)

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (substitute with a gluten-free blend if needed)

1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese (feel free to use Parmesan as an alternative)

1 tbsp baking powder (ensure it’s fresh for the best rise)

1 tbsp sugar (swap for brown sugar for a deeper taste)

1 tsp kosher salt (avoid table salt for well-balanced seasoning)

1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary (thyme or oregano can substitute)

1 tbsp chopped fresh sage (reduce if using dried sage)

1 cup heavy cream (whole milk can lighten things up)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (consider olive oil as a dairy-free alternative)

1/2 cup remaining Asiago cheese (for sprinkling on top before baking)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup Asiago cheese, baking powder, sugar, kosher salt, chopped rosemary, and sage.

Step 3: Gradually stir in the heavy cream until a cohesive dough forms; add more cream if the dough feels too dry.

Step 4: Lightly flour your countertop and knead the dough gently for about one minute until it comes together.

Step 5: Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick square, making sure it is even for uniform baking.

Step 6: Cut the dough into 12 equal squares using a sharp knife or biscuit cutter.

Step 7: Dip each biscuit square into the melted butter, coating all sides thoroughly.

Step 8: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Asiago cheese on top, and bake for 13-15 minutes until golden.

Step 9: Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for a minute before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried herbs can work if reduced to about one-third the quantity.

Swap Asiago cheese with Parmesan or a mild cheddar if you prefer a different cheese flavor.

For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and melted butter with olive oil.

Try adding a pinch of garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes for an extra flavor kick.

Storage

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a warm oven (about 350°F/175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness. They also freeze well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw and reheat before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these biscuits gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Be sure to use baking powder that is gluten-free as well for best results.

Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can prepare the dough, cut the biscuits, and store them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. This can help save time on baking day.
