CROWD-PLEASER. These pimento cheese stuffed biscuits will please just about everyone… even the picky eaters. Serve these up at a party or potluck and watch them disappear.

Ingredients needed for Pimento Cheese Stuffed Biscuits:

• Refrigerated Biscuits. I use Grands Large Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits.
• Sharp Cheddar Cheese. You can also use medium cheddar if preferred, but I don’t recommend using pre-shredded cheese.
• Mayonnaise
• Diced Pimentos
• Pimento Stuffed Green Olives. The green olives take this pimento cheese over the top!
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder
• Smoked Paprika
• Black Pepper

Tools you will need:

• 10in Cast Iron Skillet. If you don’t already have one, a cast iron skillet is a great tool to add to your kitchen equipment. I highly recommend a pre-seasoned skillet from Lodge. You won’t find a better American made cast iron skillet for such an affordable price.
• Cheese Grater
• Medium Bowl

How to make Pimento Cheese Stuffed Biscuits:

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Grate the block of cheese into a medium bowl.
3. Chop the green olives into small pieces and add to bowl.
4. Thoroughly drain the pimentos and add to bowl.
5. Add remaining ingredients and stir with a fork until well combined.
6. Pre-grease the skillet with coconut oil, avocado oil or butter if desired. While it isn’t imperative to grease the skillet, it does give the biscuits golden brown crispy edges.
7. Add the biscuits to the skillet and remove the top half.
8. Add a spoonful of pimento cheese to the center of each biscuit.
9. Place the tops of the biscuits back on and gently press them down to seal. Note: some cheese will ooze out, but that’s ok!
10. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops start to brown.
11. Let cool slightly before serving. I serve them directly in the skillet which helps to keep them warm and is a nice presentation.

FAQ’s

Can I make my own biscuits?

If you’ve got the time and desire to make your own biscuits, then by all means go ahead and do it! You’ll want them to be roughly 4in in size to fit 8 biscuits in a 10in skillet.

Do I need to use a Cast Iron Skillet?

No, technically you don’t. You can also bake pimento cheese stuffed biscuits on a baking sheet. However, I prefer baking biscuits in a skillet because they tend to rise better when they are crowded together. Try it, you’ll see what I mean.

What are some benefits of cooking with cast iron?

DURABLE. This won’t break, warp or chip and can be used on any heat source.

LESS DISHES. You can transfer this from the stove, oven or campfire directly to your table. For whatever reason food served in a cast iron skillet looks presentable and appetizing. This means less dishes to wash. Just go with it.

EASY TO CLEAN. Once your pan is seasoned (or if you have purchased a pre-seasoned pan) cleanup is a cinch. For light soil, just use oil and wipe clean with a paper towel. For a little stuck on food, I use coarse salt. Just scrub the salt around to remove any food buildup.  

For serious messes you can use soap and water, just remember to oven dry and re-oil. For more information on cleaning cast iron this is a good source.

HEALTH BENEFITS. There are some reports that cooking with cast iron can add iron to your diet, which is a great bonus! Check this source for more info. You are also eliminating the risk of PTFE chemicals getting into your foods from non-stick pans that are scratched and damaged.
