Cheddar & Leek Biscuits

I promised Paul bacon & eggs for breakfast. But I wanted to make something a bit more interesting...

So I adapted Kat & Matt's Buttermilk Biscuits with Cheddar & Green Onions. Some of the adaptations being that I didn't have any buttermilk or green onions!

Cheddar & Leek Biscuits

1 baby leek, finely chopped
1/4 cup grated strong cheddar
2/3 cup wholemeal flour
1tsp baking powder
2tbs butter
1/4 cup low fat Greek yoghurt

Combine the leek, cheddar, flour and baking powder in a bowl. Rub in the butter until it forms coarse crumbs, then bind with the yoghurt, mixing very lightly.

Form into 2-4 square-ish biscuits and bake at 220C for 15 minutes.

Serve with hot soup for lunch, or split with bacon, eggs and fried tomatoes for breakfast.

    I never thought to add leeks to a biscuit, but I bet that tastes great.

    Love cheddar biscuits! I am sure the leeks gave it a good bite.

    The biscuits look yummy. Love the additions. And fondue! Blast from the past. Great idea to serve it on the side.

    Kat - thanks! Your biscuits were inspiring

    Rachel - the leek was very finely diced, and were quite onion-y.

    Esi - they did!

    Darius - yup. If it hadn't been breakfast I would have made soup.

    Thanks Laurie! My grandmother was Swiss, so fondue was a constant, not a 70s thing.

    MrOrph - I am so glad I have discovered the biscuit! Tasty stuff.

    Sam - yup, the bacon and eggs really made them!

    Natashya - I can't believe I was 35 before I had a biscuit! So good!

    Those look really great. I should find the time to make them over our holiday weekend. They must be totally delicious.

    Ooooh, these might make a nice savoury breakfast (I am stuck in porridge with banana rut).

    Oh, how I love a good breakfast biscuit. These look way better than those ones they give you at Red Lobster.
