Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

Teresa Ambra

Cheddar Cheese Biscuits are wonderful, fluffy biscuits filled with cheddar cheese and chives. They're wonderful as a side for soups, chili or chowder, but also delicious for breakfast with preserves or apple butter spread on top. While these are great with any main dish entree, they're really special for holiday dinners like Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter.
