Red Lobster Biscuit Recipe

The Red Lobster Biscuit Recipe is a beloved copycat of their famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits — warm, cheesy, garlicky, and perfectly fluffy. These biscuits are a favorite appetizer at the restaurant and can be easily recreated at home with pantry staples. They’re great as a side dish for soups, seafood, or just by themselves!
