Can you make these ahead of time/reheat them?
Yes, you can. They were still good the second day! Enjoy!
I tried these last night and they turned out very very good. The biscuits baked up light and fluffy and were very flavorful. I actually used one this morning to make a breakfast sandwich with some scrambled eggs and bacon. Next time I might try a blend of cheeses and see how that works.
Thank you for such a good recipe!
it might be my oven but 450 for 15 minutes burnt the bottoms so I think I’ll try for 425 the next time but the flavor was very good
