Helpful Tips

Storage Information
- Room Temperature: While not ideal, these biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. The quality will deteriorate slightly, with the biscuits becoming a bit less fluffy.
- Refrigerator: For best results, store leftover Cheddar Bay Breakfast Biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cold temperatures will help them retain their moisture and texture. Reheat them in the oven at 325°F for a few minutes until warmed through.
- Freezer: These biscuits freeze really well. Make sure they are cooled completely before packaging in a ziptop bag. To reheat from frozen, wrap each biscuit in a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Make Ahead: These biscuits are perfect for meal prep! Assemble them without baking, then store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Pop them in the oven when you’re ready for a quick and delicious breakfast.
