I wanted to make a lighter version of cheddar biscuits as a side one night for dinner. I came across a recipe on the Food Network website and switched it up into my own, lighter version. You can find the original recipe here which I also halved to make 6 biscuits…this was more than enough for 2 people. I also used the toaster oven to bake these since I was broiling fish in the oven for my boyfriend! They were extremely easy to make and came out great, just as I had hoped!
- Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup shredded fat free cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 2 tbsp I can't believe it's not butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat toaster oven to 450 degrees & line small baking sheet with parchment paper
- Whisk the first 7 ingredients together in a large bowl
- Add Cheddar Cheese & milk and mix until dough forms (add more milk by the tbsp if dough seems dry)
- Using an ice cream scooper, scoop dough onto the baking sheet
- Melt the 2 tbsp "butter" in the microwave and brush tops of biscuits
- Bake in the toaster oven at 450 degrees for about 15 mins (the cheese is now melted and the tops & bottoms are slightly browned)
- Enjoy!
