Black Pepper Goat Cheese Biscuits

Black Pepper Goat Cheese Biscuits pack a little bit of spice, tang, and a whole lot of flaky layers. These buttery biscuits go well with any meal and make an even better midnight snack when slathered with extra creamy butter…

Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved bread so much she almost married it. Upon realizing that this marriage was a) complete impossible and b) a surefire way for her to go to the looney bin, she slathered her love in butter and devoured the carb-loaded soulmate instead…

And thus, an addiction to carbs became her newfound happiness as she ventured out on the quest to find the perfect biscuit. 

This is the perfect biscuit she sought to find, people. These buttery, flaky, peppery and cheese-loaded biscuits are the perfect biscuit. It has all the buttery flavor you love in a biscuit, but instead of leaving you at that, it rolls in a little spice and tang to really fire up those taste buds. I’m not gonna lie, I’m kind of addicted to these biscuits. They are great alongside any meal, but as a midnight snack or a vehicle for a mini-sandwich, they shine like the freakin’ North Star.

I have no idea what’s gotten into me this week. I feel like I sound slightly insane, just teetering on the edge of cray cray town. It’s a lack of sleep and 4 straight days and nights of work. I. can’t. hang. 

So I’ll eat my stressed out, exhausted feelings, because that’s what I do. It’s what I’m good at. In fact, I thrive at it. I’m sure all next week will be spent punishing myself at the gym for the ridiculous amount of biscuits I’ve consumed this week, but it’s worth every flaky, pillowy bite.

Bread for the win, once again.
