Ingredients
6 slices bacon
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 c. shredded Cheddar
1/4 c. finely chopped chives
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
1/3 c. baking soda
Egg wash
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 375° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Step 2In a medium skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels, then chop. Step 3In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, and chives. Mix until evenly combined and season with salt and pepper. Step 4Flatten each biscuit round to about 1/4” thickness. Top each round of dough with about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture, then bring the edges of the dough together and pinch to seal. Step 5Add baking soda to a shallow bowl filled with 3 cups warm water. Whisk until the baking soda is dissolved. Dip each bomb into the solution and toss gently until evenly coated. Step 6Place in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Score an “X” onto the top of each round, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with salt. Step 7Bake until the biscuits are deeply golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
