Weekends are for Biscuits!

Homemade slab biscuits are fluffy, tender and a wonderful breakfast treat.  They’re filled with subtle layers of flavor by mixing a generous amount of cheese and herbs right into the dough. You’ll easily mix the dough and shape it into a slab. Cut and bake for biscuits that are versatile enough to be served from breakfast to dinner. Create a decadent egg sandwich by sliding an egg into these beautifully baked biscuits. The crispy exterior and doughy interior make a great base for a deli sandwich, or simply slather with butter and serve with dinner.
