Pimento Cheese Drop Biscuits

Hiya friends! How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you all enjoyed yourselves. I did my fair share of relaxing just as planned, so the weekend was perfect!

I have to say I’m jonesin’ friends. Jonesin’ for one of my favorite places….Charleston! I have a little trip planned to go and visit Sean, my older son at the beginning of June, but until then that only means one thing. It’s time to whip up some pimento cheese, and not only eat it right out of the bowl, but also include it in whatever recipes I can, like these deliciously savory Pimento Cheese Drop Biscuits until the longing for one of my favorite cities subsides!

Pimento Cheese Drop Biscuits

If you’ve never tried pimento cheese, aka “the caviar of the South”, you’re missing out! And if you’re a regular follower of the blog, you might remember that I tried it for the first time in Charleston when Sean started college there a few years back. It was on an unbelievably amazing grilled pimento cheese, bacon and tomato sandwich. It was love at first bite! The sharp cheddar cheese, the pimentos, a dash of cayenne for kick and a little mayo to hold it all together make this Southern spread a must try.

These Pimento Cheese Drop Biscuits are so easy to make and go perfect with just about anything! Soups, salads, fried chicken, ribs…anything. If you want to have some extra for your cheese tray just double my recipe for the pimento cheese. And if you’re still hungry and looking for additional pimento cheese recipes, don’t forget about my Pimento Cheese Stuffed Potato Skins with Bacon and Jalapeños! They’re another pimento cheese favorite!

Hope you enjoy my favorite taste of the South guys! Have a wonderful week!

    I never seem to make biscuits – I always think it’s going to be hard to get a light fluffy texture – but these look fantastic. And I love it’s one bowl and no mixer. But this on my weekend to do list, Mary Ann!
