What Are Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Cheddar Bay Biscuits are Red Lobster’s tasty, addictive, cheesy biscuits. These biscuits are perfect with your lunch or dinner, but I personally love to have one in the morning for breakfast. It’s perfect with my cup of coffee. I know I’m weird that way.
Just like everyone else, I love Red Lobster and I love these biscuits. Just watching their commercials has me drooling all over myself.
These biscuits are so easy to make, anyone can make them. They are amazing, they have smoked paprika and they’re loaded with cheddar cheese, so you know they’re going to be cheesy and delicious.

How to Make Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Preheat your oven to 450 F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients, including the spices and herbs. In another bowl whisk the butter milk and melted butter together.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and gently mix. Stir in the cheese.
Drop heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave at least 1 inch in between biscuits. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with a bit more paprika and parsley.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Your house will smell incredible.

Do Cheddar Bay Biscuits Need to Be Refrigerated
You can refrigerate them in an airtight container. However, they will last for up to 3 days at room temperature if sealed tightly in an airtight container.
Can You Freeze Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Yes, you can! I usually wrap them individually in plastic wrap then place them in a freezer bag and freeze them. They will last for up to a month in the freezer. When I want to have one, I just take one out of the freezer and pop it in the microwave for about a minute.
