Savory, cheesy, and full of flavor, these cheddar bacon biscuits are a delicious twist on a classic. Sharp cheddar, crispy bacon, and fresh thyme are folded into a tender biscuit dough made with Nounós Creamery Classic Plain Greek Yogurt, while a touch of hot honey adds just the right hint of sweetness and heat. Finished with melted butter and flaky salt, they're perfect alongside a cozy meal, on a brunch spread, or enjoyed warm straight from the oven.
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup whole milk
1 large egg
2 teaspoons hot honey
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 pieces of cooked bacon, crumbled
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
Melted butter, for brushing after baking
Flaky salt, for topping
Steps:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Nounós Creamery Plain Greek Yogurt, milk, egg, and hot honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently until the dough just comes together.
Add the shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and fresh thyme, folding gently into the dough until just combined.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and flour your hands as needed. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 to 1¼ inches thick.
Fold the right side of the dough over the middle, then fold the other side over the top. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and gently pat it back into a rectangle. Repeat twice.
Cover the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
After 20 minutes, preheat the oven to 425° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out 6-8 biscuits. Reform the extra dough and use the cut out any extra biscuits you are able to.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet so they're just touching. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Enjoy!
