This dish combines all the savory satisfaction of this true Southern staple with the shareable ease of a casserole. In one dish, you'll have golden brown biscuits, homemade gravy and the impossible-not-to-love addition of melted cheese on top. It's the perfect indulgent dish for a lazy Sunday.Recipe courtesy of Leena Asuma, Gals That Brunch

Making homemade bread can be a tedious task. If you're craving a savory and warm baked good, turn to these biscuits instead for maximum delicousness and minimal hassle. In just half an hour, you will have a batch of flaky biscuits flavored with fresh chives and hearty cheddar cheese.

Got a can of Pillsbury biscuits languishing away in the back of the refrigerator, with no idea what to do? Here is one solution. These quick and easy breakfast sandwiches are definitely not haute cuisine and no hip brunch place would be caught dead serving them, except only ironically for about $10 a pop. But, they are grilled, and that makes everything OK.

Long before there were refrigerated cylinders of mediocre biscuit dough at every supermarket waiting to be popped from their container and tossed into the oven, there were fresh, home-baked biscuits. In the South, each woman has her own special recipe, her own process, and her own lore surrounding the biscuit. Do you use vegetable shortening or butter; do you roll out the dough or pat it gently with your hands? What about baking powder — how many tablespoons; do you knead it or hardly touch the dough? With so much mythologizing, it’s no wonder that Americans have settled on the mediocrity of a convenience food just to avoid treading on an adamant baker’s toes!While I appreciate a tale as much as the next woman, I also believe in de-mystifying processes, showing every person (Southern or otherwise) that getting a plate full of steaming biscuits on the table is an achievable goal. — Adrienne Kane, United States of BreadClick here for more of our best biscuit recipes.
