Tips to Make Cheesy Crab Garlic Biscuits

• Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
• Be gentle when folding in the crabmeat to avoid breaking it up too much.
• For an extra cheesy flavor, add more shredded cheddar cheese on top of each biscuit before baking.

Variations

You can customize your Cheesy Crab Garlic Biscuits by adding other seafood, such as shrimp or lobster, or mix in herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor. If you want a spicy kick, consider adding chopped jalapeños to the mixture.

FAQs

1. Can I use imitation crab instead of lump crabmeat?
Yes, imitation crab works well and is a budget-friendly option.

2. Can I freeze the biscuits?
You can freeze the uncooked mixture by spooning it onto a baking sheet, freezing until firm, and then transferring to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

3. How long do the biscuits take to bake?
They usually bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Check them at the 15-minute mark to ensure they do not overbake.
