Warm, cheesy, and oniony.  I’m here to tell you you should not be making these gruyere drop biscuits for Thanksgiving. And you most definitely shouldn’t make them for Christmas either. And the reason is that these biscuits are sure to go flying right off the plate, and you will undoubtedly get asked for the recipe. Please don’t say I didn’t warn you! I made a plateful of these drop biscuits a month back, and between the two of us, they disappeared, one by one, until there were none left. And that’s when I knew I had to make sure I left you a little warning too. Each bite is loaded with salty and nutty, cheesy goodness with a hint of sweet, balsamic caramelized onions. They’re a rip off of my cheddar bay biscuits that I have loved and adored; first at Red Lobster and then at home for the last 10 years. And though I won’t say they’ll replace the garlic and cheddar version, I love having an option to change things up, and these would be perfect served alongside mashed potatoes, turkey, and green bean casserole.

What do you need to make Gruyere drop biscuits?

All-purpose flour: both bleached or unbleached flour will work for this recipe. I usually use unbleached flour.Granulated sugar: granulated sugar adds just a hint of sweetness to the drop biscuitsBaking powder: is the leavening agent so that the drop biscuits aren’t super dense.Seasonings: I like to add a dash of garlic powder, dried parsley, and some salt to the biscuits to give them some more flavorMelted butter: I prefer to use melted butter when making drop biscuits as they don’t have the layers that traditional biscuits do (for which you need cold butter cut through the flour mixture.)Milk: milk adds moisture to the biscuits. It reacts with the baking powder, which then allows the biscuits to rise.Shredded Gruyere cheese: shredded cheese adds a delicious nutty flavor. See below for substitutes.
