Ingredients For Cheesy Jalapeno Biscuits Recipe
- Flour: The base for your recipe, helps create structure.

How to Make Jalapeno Cheese Biscuits
The steps for making these are similar to those for making the Best Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe. To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees and butter the pan you’ll be using. In a food processor, chop the Swiss cheese into small, pebble-sized chunks.
Next, chop your jalapenos until they’re finely minced. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder, giving it a good stir. Grate your cold butter into the dry mixture, then use a pastry cutter to integrate the butter if needed.
Add the heavy cream, Swiss cheese, and jalapenos to the mixture and stir until it’s just combined—be careful not to overwork the dough.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Form a rectangle and fold the dough several times to create layers. Once the dough is about an inch thick, use a cutter to shape the biscuits.
Place them in the baking dish so they touch, which helps them rise taller and fluffier. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then brush the tops with melted butter if desired.
Tips for Making Cheesy Jalapeno Biscuits
Tip 1: Place the biscuits together in the baking dish to encourage a higher and fluffier rise.
Tip 2: Use very cold butter for flaky layers and grate it into the dry ingredients for even distribution and a tender texture.
Tip 3: Folding the dough multiple times before cutting out the biscuits will help to create flaky layers.
FAQS For Jalapeno Biscuits

The spice level depends on the jalapenos. Removing the seeds and stems will reduce the heat. If you prefer milder biscuits, use less jalapeno or substitute with a milder pepper like a poblano.

Cheesy Jalapeno Biscuits Recipe
Video
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 6 tablespoon butter very cold
- 2 jalapenos with seeds and stems removed
- 3 ounces swiss cheese.
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream you can use whole milk as well
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the pan where you’ll bake the biscuits.
- In a food processor, chop the Swiss cheese into small, pebble-sized pieces. Next, chop the jalapenos in the food processor until you have very fine chunks.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder, stirring well to mix the dry ingredients. Grate very cold butter into the mixture using a cheese grater, and then stir thoroughly. If needed, use a pastry cutter to further incorporate the butter into the dough.
- Add the heavy cream, crumbled Swiss cheese, and jalapenos to the bowl, mixing until just combined—be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Flour a clean work surface, then transfer the dough and shape it into a rectangle. Gently roll it out with a rolling pin, bringing the sides together to create a fold. Rotate the dough and repeat this folding process three more times.
- Once the dough is about 1 inch thick, use a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or even a mason jar to cut out the biscuits.
- Place the biscuits in a baking dish so that their sides are touching. This step is crucial for achieving taller, fluffier biscuits.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes. If desired, brush melted butter over the tops as they come out of the oven for added flavor.
Notes
- Pack those biscuits together in the baking dish to help them rise higher and fluffier.
- Go for super cold butter for those flaky layers—grate it into the dry ingredients for even mixing and a tender texture.
- Fold the dough a few times before cutting out the biscuits to really boost those flaky layers.
