Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
These made from scratch, Garlic Butter Cheddar Biscuits are the perfect side dish for any meal, whether you’re having a bowl soup, chili, or stew. They taste buttery, with lots of cheese and garlic flavor, and flaky layers. I personally love them with my slow cooker tomato soup, broccoli cheddar soup and my chicken pot pie soup! Biscuits are usually loaded with butter, but I use significantly less, plus some Greek yogurt. They turned out so good! I also have these Easy Bisquick Cheddar Biscuits and Rosemary Garlic Parmesan Biscuits that use Bisquick as a shortcut ingredient.
Ingredients
Here’s everything you will need to make these Better-Than-Red Lobster biscuits. See exact measurements in the recipe card below.
Easy: In just a few quick steps, you can have homemade biscuits on your dinner table. While they bake, finish your main dish. Bon appetit! Healthy: Compared to most other biscuits, these are much lighter and have more protein due to the Greek yogurt and cheese. Party Worthy: This garlic cheddar biscuit recipe is simple to double or triple and would be great for serving at a party.
Flour: You’ll need two cups of all-purpose flour. Baking Powder: Ensure your baking powder isn’t expired so the biscuits rise. Salt: I always use kosher salt for my Greek yogurt dough, but if you use table salt, use less. Cold Butter: Whipped butter has a lighter texture, fewer calories, and less fat than stick butter because it has more air. Make sure your butter is cold for the best biscuits. Greek Yogurt: You’ll need a thick, fat-free Greek yogurt. Stonyfield and Fage are both good options. Garlic: Mince or grate four garlic cloves. Garlic powder would also work. Cheese: Use two ounces of sharp cheddar cheese. Fresh Herbs: Finely chop fresh parsley or chives

Variations
Sticky Dough? Stir in more flour. Butter: If you don’t have whipped butter, you can replace it with regular butter. Use two tablespoons in the biscuits and one tablespoon for the garlic butter. Herbs: Swap parsley for thyme or rosemary. Cheese: Substitute Colby or Monterrey Jack.
What to Serve with Cheddar Biscuits
These healthy garlic cheddar biscuits are excellent as a snack, on the side with a protein and veggie, or with soup or pasta to soak up the sauce or broth. Here are some dinner ideas:
Soup: Loaded Baked Potato Soup, Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Chicken Barley Soup Chili: White Bean Pumpkin Chili, Buffalo Chicken and Bean Chili, BBQ Chicken Chili Stew: Beef Stew, Chicken and Andouille Sausage Meat: Air Fryer Herbed Buttermilk Chicken, Pork Chop with Dijon Herb Sauce, Air Fryer Steak
Storage
Homemade garlic cheddar biscuits are best made the same day, but can stay at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerating them can dry them out, but if you haven’t eaten them by then, you can put them in the fridge for a few more days. These biscuits also freeze well. Wrap tight and keep in freezer for up to three months, wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container or plastic bag.
