Cotswold Cheddar and Chive Biscuits


These homemade buttermilk biscuits are the perfect way to add some cheesy flavor to your brunch spread. Packed with fresh chives and Cotswold, they’re rich and buttery, with a bright bite from the chives. Cotswold, a cheddar-style cheese from England, is creamy and smooth, and studded with onion and chives for a blend of delicious notes that make a baked potato-like essence. Perfect for complementing the fresh chives in these biscuits, Cotswold adds a gentle intensity to a classic homemade recipe.
