The Low-Carb Cheddar Biscuit Recipe

This low-carb biscuit recipe is quick and easy to make. The biscuits come out of the oven steaming hot and tender and tasty. The addition of cheese and chives make them particularly tasty. Even the kids will devour them.

The inspiration

These biscuits were inspired by the baskets of biscuits they serve at Red Lobster. To develop the recipe, I used my basic low-carb biscuit recipe as a base and added in some grated cheddar and chopped chives.

While I think the biscuits at Red Lobster may have a touch of garlic, I thought this addition might be overwhelming and stuck to just cheddar and chives.

I’m glad I did. The cheddar and chives added loads of flavor and they didn’t need anything else. I didn’t say anything to my family about trying to create a low-carb version of Red Lobster’s biscuits, but everyone commented that they tasted just like them.

How to make cheddar biscuits

These biscuits are super-easy to make. First, I line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400º Fahrenheit.

While the oven is preheating, I use a food processor to blend the dry ingredients together.Next, I pulse in the butter until the mixture looks mealy and the butter is evenly distributed.

After the mixture is mealy, I add in the egg white and the sour cream, then pulse the food processor until the mixture forms a dough.

Finally, I transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and stir in the cheddar and the chives, then kneed the dough a few times to evenly spread the cheese and chives. Voila! The dough is done!

Next, I turn the dough out onto a parchment lined baking sheet, pat it into a disk and cut it into 6 pieces using a butter knife. You could also shape it into round biscuits using your hands.

Before baking, the biscuits need to be separated so they don’t touch. After separating them, bake the biscuits into golden goodness–about 10-12 minutes.

What to put on biscuits

The beauty of these low-carb cheddar chive biscuits is that they are tasty by themselves. However, if you want them to be super-decadent, you can cut them open and slather them with some butter.

Biscuit topping ideas

If you don’t want to add butter, some other ideas for biscuit toppings include thin slices of ham or bacon, softened cream cheese, low-carb bacon jam, or spoon on some dip.

You can even cut the biscuits in half and make little biscuit sandwiches. Sausage patties or ham would be perfect for the filling. You could even add some cheese and egg.

What to make with biscuits for dinner

Red Lobster had it right when they decided to serve their biscuits instead of bread! Their biscuits and my low-carb version as well, make a perfect accompaniment for seafood. Some low-carb recipes you may want to try them with include myLow-Carb Baked Seafood Casserole Recipe,Cioppino Seafood Stew Recipe,or mylow-carb Shrimp Cakes Recipe.

You don’t need to limit yourself to seafood, however. These biscuits would also complement almost any soup or meat. They would be perfect with this keto stroganoff from Two Sleevers, or with myLow-Carb Broccoli Cheddar Soup,Instant Pot Low-Carb Short Ribs Recipe, orSlow-Cooked Low-Carb Pot Roast.

Final words

These biscuits are sure to satisfy a craving for bread. They are tasty and versatile and super-easy to make. However you decide to use them, enjoy!
