Bacon and Cheese Biscuits
(6 biscuits)
1-1/2 cups Bisquick biscuit mix
1/2 cup low fat milk
3 strips bacon or panchetta diced
1/4 cup grated swiss cheese
honey or maple syrup to drizzle
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small pan, render the bacon pieces till crisp. Drain the crisped bits and reserve the bacon fat for later use. Meanwhile, mix the biscuit mix, milk and cheese to form a sticky dough. Fold in the cooked bacon.
Using an ice cream scoop, spoon out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the top is golden. Cool on rack for a few minutes and serve warm with honey and maple syrup.
Note: I use swiss cheese instead of the usual cheddar because I did not want a sharp cheese taste, more of a sublime is what I am reaching for.
