Things to Consider
- Egg Quality: Use large, fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor. They provide the foundation for the biscuit dough.
- Cheese: Choose a good melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella to ensure a gooey, flavorful interior.
- Vegetables: Opt for low-carb vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms. Avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes.
Tips and Tricks
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your ingredients, especially eggs and cheese, are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother batter.
- Grease the Pan: Lightly grease your baking pan or use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Thoroughly: Combine ingredients well to ensure an even distribution of flavors and texture throughout the biscuits.
- Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking to prevent over-browning. They should be golden and firm to the touch.
