Microwave Cheddar & Herb Biscuit in a Mug
A quick and indulgent single-serving biscuit that combines sharp cheddar and fresh herbs, perfect for a cozy breakfast or as a side.
Ingredients
For the Biscuit
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk about 120 ml; can use whole, 2%, skim, or dairy-free milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter can substitute with oil or dairy-free butter
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded freshly shredded melts better than pre-shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (like chives or parsley), chopped can substitute with other fresh herbs like dill or tarragon
Instructions
Preparation
- Combine dry ingredients in a microwave-safe mug big enough to allow the biscuit to rise (10–12 oz / 300–350 ml mug recommended).
- In the mug, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Stir in milk and melted butter until a soft batter forms.
- Gently fold in shredded cheddar and chopped herbs until distributed.
Cooking
- Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, starting with 60 seconds. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick — it should come out mostly clean.
- Allow the biscuit to cool in the mug for 2–3 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
For variations, consider adding jalapeño, garlic, or sun-dried tomatoes. For best texture, consume immediately after cooking.
