I love this Microwave Cheddar & Herb Biscuit in a Mug for quick snacks and lazy mornings. I make it when I want warm bread fast and cheesy comfort without much fuss.
Dad James used to joke I could cook anything in a mug, and this biscuit proved him right.
Your Ingredients List
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (like chives or parsley), chopped
My Go-To Equipment
I keep just a few things on hand: a microwave-safe mug, a small whisk or fork, and a measuring cup. When I want more hearty breakfasts I pair this with other easy bites like breakfast protein biscuits for a quick spread.
The Simple Steps to Follow
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a microwave-safe mug.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter and stir until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar and chopped herbs.
- Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes until it has risen and looks set.
- Let the biscuit cool a minute before eating right from the mug.
Healthy Twists on a Classic
I swap half the milk for low-fat milk and use more herbs for a lighter bite. For a fresh side I often make a quick salad like the 20-minute green goddess pasta salad and keep the meal bright.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I slice the biscuit in half and add a pat of butter or a smear of soft cheese. For a cozy dinner I serve it beside mains, and I love it with recipes like herbed ricotta stuffed chicken rolls when I want something warm and simple.
Getting It Just Right
Use a mug that holds at least 12 ounces so the batter can rise without spilling. If your microwave is strong, check at 1 minute to avoid overcooking. Fresh herbs bring a bright taste, so add more if you like.
How to Store Leftovers
Cool any leftover biscuit, wrap it tight, and chill for up to two days. Reheat in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds or warm in a toaster oven for a crisper top.
Enjoy Every Moment
I eat this straight from the mug with my morning tea and small, happy thoughts. It tastes like a quick hug from the kitchen.
A Few Common Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour in Microwave Cheddar & Herb Biscuit in a Mug?
Yes, you can swap in whole wheat flour, but the biscuit will be denser and may need a touch more milk to reach the right batter feel.
How long should I microwave Microwave Cheddar & Herb Biscuit in a Mug?
Microwaves vary, so start with 1 minute and add 15 second bursts until the biscuit is set and springs back lightly when touched.
Can I make Microwave Cheddar & Herb Biscuit in a Mug without cheese or with different cheeses?
You can skip the cheese or use any cheese you like; milder cheeses will give a gentler flavor and sharper cheeses will add more bite.
