Quick and Easy Ricotta Cheese Biscuits

Quick and Easy Ricotta Cheese Biscuits

Soft and moist, this is an excellent all purpose biscuit to serve with soup for a filling lunch. I whipped these up in less than an hour, including prep and cleanup time. I served the biscuits with miso soup with wild mushrooms for a delectable dinner that in no way betrayed the short time I spent preparing it.

I have just made these, and they are delicious. I did not have any yogurt on hand, so I substituted buttermilk. Ricotta adds nice softness to these biscuits and it takes so little time to make. Thanks for the recipe.

Terrific! Substituted grapeseed oil for olive oil to give them a bit lighter flavor. Thank you!!

I had some ricotta to use up so I made these tonight to go with some soup I'd made. They were a great addition to dinner! I ran out of ricotta so I subbed some sour cream--about 1/3 c to make up for missing ricotta. Nice recipe! I find a lot of biscuit recipes have too much liquid added but these were spot on! Thanks for sharing!

I made these a couple of weeks ago and they were absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

Have made them twice now to use up left over ricotta. They are very tasty. Since I'm not a fan of parsley, I've used chives instead. Great recipe!!
