Biscuit Hacks: 5 Creative Ways to Enjoy Leftovers
To be honest, we don’t usually have leftover biscuits around here. But if you do end up with a few extras from your last Denver Biscuit Co. visit, don’t let them go to waste. Biscuits are like edible building blocks, and with a bit of creativity, you can turn those leftovers into something much more exciting than just reheating them. Here are five fun ideas to help you get the most out of your leftover biscuits.
Turn Them Into Breakfast Casserole Magic
If you have a biscuit and some eggs, you’re already halfway to a cozy breakfast bake. Tear your leftover biscuits into pieces, put them in a baking dish, and pour whisked eggs, cheese, and anything else you have in the fridge—like sausage, bacon, or veggies—on top. Bake until the top is golden and the eggs are set. It’s like a savory bread pudding, but with even more flavor and character.
Make Mini Biscuit Bread Puddings
Craving something sweet? Cut your biscuit into cubes, mix with a bit of milk, sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla, then bake in a muffin tin. You’ll end up with mini bread puddings that have crispy edges and a soft, custardy center. Add some whipped cream or ice cream on top, and it’ll look like you planned dessert from the start.
Biscuit Croutons for the Win
You might find yourself making this hack on purpose. Cut your leftover biscuits into small cubes, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake until they’re crisp. They taste amazing on tomato soup, chili, salads, or, honestly, just eaten straight from the pan.
Build a Biscuit Sandwich You’ve Never Tried Before
Leftovers are a great reason to try something new. Slice a biscuit in half, toast it, and fill it with whatever you like: fried chicken and honey, smashed meatballs, roasted veggies with goat cheese, or even a scoop of pimento cheese. This is the moment when asking “what do I have in the fridge?” turns into a fun habit.
Freeze for Later
If you don’t want to use your leftovers right away, just put them in the freezer. Biscuits freeze well and reheat easily. Wrap them tightly, freeze, and then warm them in the oven when you need a quick breakfast or a tasty side. Your future self will appreciate the effort.
Leftover biscuits are another chance to make something great. With a bit of inspiration and a little hunger, you can turn them into breakfast casseroles, desserts, snacks, or new sandwiches. So if you have an extra biscuit or two, don’t miss out on the possibilities. They still have plenty of life and flavor left.
