Tender cheddar folds, a golden biscuit crumb, and a savory olive oil finish make these breakfast biscuits feel especially inviting. Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend layers basil, Italian oregano, garlic, and black pepper into the dough, giving each bite a rustic, herb-forward depth that works beautifully for brunch, weekend breakfast, or a cozy family breakfast spread.

Savory Breakfast Biscuits with Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl Large enough for dry ingredients and folding dough
- 1 Pastry cutter Helps work in the butter quickly
- 1 baking sheet Line with parchment paper
- 1 sheet Parchment paper Keeps biscuits from sticking
- 1 biscuit cutter 2 1/2-inch round cutter
- 1 set Measuring cups For dry and liquid ingredients
- 1 set Measuring spoons For smaller measurements
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, baking soda, and black pepper.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese and chives.
- Drizzle in the Farmhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend and pour in the cold buttermilk, then fold gently just until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.
- Fold the dough over itself once or twice to build flaky layers, then pat it back out.
- Cut out 8 biscuits with a floured 2 1/2-inch cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet with the sides just touching for softer edges or spaced apart for crisper sides.
- Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until the biscuits are tall and golden brown.
- Serve warm.
Notes

Let us know how it was!Recipe Tips
Keep the butter cold and work quickly so the biscuits bake up tall and flaky. If the dough feels sticky, add just enough flour to bring it together without drying it out.
For a little extra browning, brush the tops with a touch of olive oil before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these biscuits warm with scrambled eggs, sliced tomatoes, or a simple fruit bowl.
They also make a great side for breakfast casseroles, soups, or a brunch board with jam and soft butter.
Storage
Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Rewarm in a 325°F oven for a few minutes to bring back the fresh-baked texture.
Variations
Swap the cheddar for Monterey Jack for a milder biscuit, or add finely chopped chives for a sharper herbal note.
For a richer finish, sprinkle the tops with a little grated Parmesan before baking.
