Pimento Cheese and Bacon Biscuits

Fall really has a way of enhancing the comfort of homemade biscuits! There’s something about the crisp, chilly air that makes pulling a batch of warm, freshly baked biscuits from the oven feel like a cozy ritual. The smell fills the kitchen, bringing warmth to the entire space, and each bite just seems to melt in your mouth, adding a touch of seasonal comfort. Biscuits are so versatile, too—perfect for pairing with soups, stews, or a hearty breakfast. Plus, they’re easy to make and bring a homemade, personal touch that’s just right for the season.

I have to say though these pimento cheese bacon biscuits are especially awesome because they bring together bold flavors in a warm, flaky bite that’s perfect for fall. The pimento cheese adds a creamy, slightly tangy richness that complements the crispy, smoky bacon. The combination makes each biscuit irresistibly savory, with layers of flavor in every bite. They’re not only satisfying on their own but also versatile—great alongside soups or as a unique brunch treat. The warmth and heartiness make them a perfect choice for chilly fall mornings, adding that extra bit of comfort and indulgence we crave this time of year.

No matter what flavor you add to your biscuits always remember to Set the Table with Love. 💕

Pimento Cheese and Bacon Biscuits with Parsley

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold butter (cubed)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup pimento (drained and chopped)

6 slices cooked bacon (crumbled)

3/4 cup buttermilk (plus extra for brushing on top)

Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper for a slight kick

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add Cheese, Pimento, and Bacon. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped pimento, and crumbled bacon. If using cayenne, add it now for a bit of heat.

5. Add Buttermilk: Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.

6. Knead and Roll Out Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, then pat or roll it to about 1/2 inch thickness.

7. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, Do not turn the cutter when removing the biscuit this can make the edges tough. Next place them on the prepared baking sheet.

8. Brush with Buttermilk: Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra buttermilk to help them brown nicely.

9. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

10. Serve Warm: Let the biscuits cool slightly, then serve warm. Enjoy with butter or extra pimento cheese if desired!

About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am learning every day how to love up on this beautiful gift of living, cherishing each moment as it comes. Especially because at 38 I was dying, and now I am 55 years old, I have gained a deeper appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.

Together, we have raised two incredible kids, aged 38 and 25, and I delight in watching them thrive. Our family has expanded beautifully with two grandkids who fill our lives with joy, a lovely daughter-in-law who has seamlessly joined our family, and a grand fur baby who adds warmth to our home. Here you will find life, food, and how I set the table with love for myself, my friends, and my family, creating cherished memories around meals that go beyond nourishment.
