Red Lobster – Copycat Cheddar Biscuit

I am so jealous of all of you that have a Red Lobster in their area! There isn’t one anywhere close to me (unless we want to take a day trip) And the last 9 years we lived in Massachusetts on the water, there wasn’t a Red Lobster for miles n miles! We did have the luxury of the wonderful local seafood places that sit right on the oceans edge. Which was incredible and the best most fresh seafood anyone could ask for.

But, I love love red lobsters Cheddar bay biscuits! The salty flavor from the cheddar cheese and the moist  fluffy center are just the perfect combination. This copycat recipe is very close to the real thing. Making it at home makes it that much more rewarding.

I found this recipe and tweaked it just a bit to satisfy my taste.

Check it out and let me know what you think!! There is also a picture  at the bottom of how we transformed these wonderful little biscuits into big biscuits for a very satisfying breakfast sandwich!

It is best to serve these biscuits warm and right from the oven. If you have left overs, don’t worry they are still great the next day! Fry up an egg or 2, add some bacon and cheese and breakfast is served!
Take a look at that! Yummmmm!
