Chive and Cheddar Biscuits

Breakfast

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 Tbsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 Tbsp Kosher Salt

2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 Tbsp chopped chives

1/2 cup frozen butter

3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp cup quarts buttermilk

1 eggs

3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pepper, cheddar cheese and chives. Gently mix to combine the ingredients.

Using a cheese grater, shred the frozen butter into the flour mixture. Lightly toss to incorporate, but keep butter as cold as possible.

Whisk together the buttermilk and egg.

Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, and using your hands, blend the dough. Blend only long enough to moisten all of the flour. Do not over mix.

Place the biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut biscuits using a 2 –inch round cookie cutter.

Using a pastry brush, brush the tops with the melted butter

Bake 12-14 minutes.

Yield: 10-14 biscuits

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Smoked Gouda Grits

I am a huge fan of short rib entrees. They work especially well for large dinners as the doneness is all the same and no one has to worry about who prefers rare and who prefers medium. Plus, the bone acts as a conductor of heat, keeping it warm for longer. Smoked gouda adds depth and creaminess to grits. This version was created by Chef Nevil Barr, New South Restaurant Group’s Chief Culinary Officer. It’s made an appearance on the Crescent City Grill menu and we often use it for catering large groups (if multiplying the recipe for large groups, go easy on the salt and Creole seasoning, you can always add more at the end).

Banana Nut French Toast

Start your morning off right with this indulgent Banana Nut French Toast recipe — a delicious twist on a breakfast classic. Made with thick slices of bread soaked in a creamy cinnamon-vanilla custard, then topped with caramelized bananas and crunchy toasted pecans, this easy French toast is the perfect way to bring warmth and flavor to your table.

Apple French Toast

French toast has been a favorite since childhood—probably one of the first things I could make on my own. Pancakes were my grandmother Muz’s domain, but French toast was all mine. King’s Hawaiian Bread is always a solid choice, but if you can find a bakery that makes fresh brioche or sweet sourdough, grab it. Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.
