 These drop Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits are so easy to make, this is one of my favourite recipes for a quick snack or appetizer. 

I don’t know what it is about biscuits, but I can’t seem to stop making them!

This week, I have been going through my old posts and re-shooting some of the photos, when I came across my jalapeno and mozzarella biscuits, I knew I needed to redo them, but with cheddar cheese this time.

I haven’t gotten round to retaking those photos because I was all out of mozzarella, but I think cheddar and jalapenos are a match made in heaven. Thinking back to some of my favourite cheddar + jalapeno combos I have made in the past, I immediately think of my bacon and cheddar stuffed jalapeno soft pretzels and my jalapeno popper skillet pizza.

(The pizza makes a monthly appearance in my house. No fail.)

Now I am adding these biscuits to my jalapeno rotation.

These biscuits come together in under 30 minutes, so they are perfect to pop in the oven while making soup on the stove.

And yes, I am the weirdo who eats a lot of soup in the middle of summer.

But after making these biscuits, is it any wonder? The pairing of soup and biscuits is just perfect 👌.

Luckily, both me and my fiance love spicy food. So I usually go for much more jalapeno peppers than the recipe calls. But you can adjust to your tastes.

More cheese, different cheese, more jalapeno peppers, add in some bacon.. the possibilities are endless! It is a good base for whatever kind of biscuits you are craving.
