Make-Ahead Instructions
These biscuits will keep for three days, so feel free to make them ahead of time. But with a total prep time of just 20 minutes, you may not need to make them ahead of time.
Serving and Storage Instructions
Serve Red Lobster cheddar biscuits fresh from the oven brushed with the butter glaze. They’re so tasty when they’re still hot! While they’re also great at room temperature, you can heat them up in a toaster oven or even zap them for a couple of seconds in the microwave if you want them hot again. Store leftover cheddar biscuits in an airtight container on your countertop for up to three days, or freeze them for up to three months. To reheat them, give them about 10 seconds in the microwave or 5-10 minutes in your oven or a toaster oven at 350℉/177℃.
What Goes with Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits
I’m a fan of homemade seafood dinners, so I love to pair these biscuits with any seafood entrée. They go extra well with lobster mac and cheese (you can never have too much cheese, right? 😆), shrimp gumbo, or creamy scallops. I usually balance out all that creamy, cheesy richness with a fresh salad, like my simple wedge salad. Then I like washing it down with a citrusy drink, like my famous Brazilian lemonade. Mmm!
