Three copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits on a black background. Text in the lower right hand corner reads "cheddar bay biscuits".

I’ve been spoiled by always living next to a body of water and having fresh seafood at my disposal. That being said, I don’t eat at Red Lobster because their seafood isn’t exactly what I’m used to. Those Cheddar Bay Biscuits though….everybody loves them. Even me!

A white plate full of homemade cheddar bay biscuits. Text at the top reads "Red Lobster Biscuits".

I just had to have a taste of those delicious, cheesy, buttery cheddar bay biscuits in my own home. I wasn’t sure at first if I could make something as good, but honestly these are better than what they’re slinging over at Red Lobster. I swear! Don’t believe me? Give them a try!

    I used tin foil to bake them on and left them in the oven for 14 mins and added some salt to the topping. Love them

    Would there be any adaptations to this recipe to make this into a loaf of bread?

    Rave reviews from the family. They gobbled them up and wanted more. Highly recommend this recipe. I might try adding more cayenne to see if I can get some kick.

    I added a small can of crab meat (drain and pick through for shell). Really good with clam chowder, potato soup or split them open and make eggs benedict with more crab.
