What Kind of Cheese Works Best for Biscuit Loaf?
The best cheese for this biscuit loaf is one that melts beautifully and adds flavor. Sharp cheddar is a favorite because it provides a rich, tangy taste that pairs perfectly with the soft biscuit dough. You can also experiment with mozzarella for extra gooeyness, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick.
Ingredients for the Easy Cheesy Biscuit Loaf
Sharp Cheddar Cheese
This gives the loaf its signature cheesy pull and bold flavor. The sharper the cheddar, the richer the taste.
All-Purpose Flour
The base of the loaf, providing structure and that classic biscuit-like crumb.
Baking Powder
Essential for lift and fluffiness, making the loaf light instead of dense.
Salt
Balances the flavors and enhances the cheesy goodness.
Sugar
Just a pinch to round out the savory notes and enhance the bread’s overall taste.
Milk
Adds moisture to create a soft, tender crumb.
Butter
Melted butter brings richness and keeps the loaf moist while adding a delicious buttery flavor.
Fresh Parsley (Optional)
Sprinkled on top for a pop of color and a fresh herbal note.
How To Make the Easy Cheesy Biscuit Loaf
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This ensures everything is evenly distributed for the best rise and texture.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this keeps the loaf soft and tender.
Step 4: Fold in the Cheese
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the batter and fold it in gently so the cheese is evenly spread throughout.
Step 5: Fill the Pan
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle extra shredded cheddar on top for a cheesy crust.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color, slice, and serve warm.
Serving and Storing the Easy Cheesy Biscuit Loaf
This biscuit loaf is best enjoyed fresh from the oven when the cheese is still melty and warm. It’s perfect as a side dish for dinner, a party appetizer, or even a quick snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the oven or air fryer to keep the edges crisp.
Freezing is also an option. Wrap slices in foil or plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag, and store for up to a month. Reheat in the oven straight from frozen for a freshly baked taste.
