Homemade Cheese and Parmesan Biscuits
Cheese and parmesan biscuits are my recommendation for a simple, delicious, and tasty snack. They’re a delicious homemade solution to hunger pangs. They may look like cookies, being round in shape, but they are savory biscuits.

Method · 1 h 35 min
- Finely grate the Parmesan cheese.
- Mix the eggs lightly with salt.
- Add pepper and chili flakes to taste.
- In a large bowl, mix the white flour with the whole wheat flour and make a well in the middle.
- Place the butter in the well and start kneading with your fingers until you get a crumbly dough.
- Add the cheddar (or sheep's cheese) and two thirds of the Parmesan and mix again to evenly distribute the cheeses.
- Pour the eggs over the dough and start kneading until the dough is smooth.
- If necessary, add milk or flour to obtain a homogeneous dough, not too stiff and easy to work.
- Wrap the dough in foil and chill for an hour.

- Bake the biscuits for 10-15 minutes until nicely browned.
- Cool on a cooling tray.
- They are very tasty and are a great snack when you want to avoid something sweet.
- And we don't want sweet all the time.
- Enjoy!
These are great snacks for kids as it will give them a boost of energy and are also visually appealing. I used sheep’s cheese for this recipe for extra flavor, but sheep’s cheese is hard to find and not everyone’s cup of tea. You can safely use cheddar cheese instead.
I invite you to try them, they are easy to make and very tasty.
