Perfect for pairing with dishes like Red Lobster’s Shrimp Scampi, this loaf is cheesy, soft, and full of flavor—without the hassle of kneading, rolling, or cutting individual biscuits.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and black pepper – simple pantry staples that provide structure and a hint of spice.
- Cheddar cheese cubes – packed throughout the loaf for cheesy bites in every slice.
- Milk, sour cream, melted butter, and egg – combine to make a creamy, rich batter.
How to Make Red Lobster’s Cheese Biscuit Loaf:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and black pepper.
- Fold in the cheddar cheese cubes until coated with the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, sour cream, melted butter, and egg.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Recipe Variations:
- Add ¼ cup diced jalapeños for a spicy, cheesy kick.
- Try different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or a mix with fresh herbs for added flavor.
Make-Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
- Prepare up to 2 days ahead; reheat at 350°F for 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Freeze by wrapping completely cooled loaf in foil, placing it in a freezer bag, and storing up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Pro Tips for the Best Loaf:
- Use room-temperature ingredients for even mixing.
- If the batter is too stiff, gently mix by hand—don’t overmix.
- Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt for a golden, flavorful crust.
This cheese biscuit loaf is the ultimate shortcut to enjoying Red Lobster’s signature flavor right at home—cheesy, soft, and irresistibly delicious.
