- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 sticks salted butter (10 tablespoons), cold and cubed
- 1 1/2 cups Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
Step 1: Caramelize the Onions
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Stir in thyme and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and shredded Gruyère cheese.
- Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingers to mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the caramelized onions.
- Slowly pour in the milk, stirring just until combined.
Step 3: Shape & Bake the Biscuits
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Let biscuits cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy with butter, honey, or as a side for soups and stews!
Notes
- Make ahead: Caramelize the onions in advance and store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
- Want extra crunch? Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before baking.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
