Tips & Variations

• Use fresh green beans blanched and chopped if you prefer a fresher taste and firmer texture.
• Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the filling for extra flavor.
• Try mixing in cooked bacon bits for a smoky twist.
• Substitute cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack cheese to change the flavor profile.

Storage

Store any leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes to keep the biscuit cups crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I make these bites ahead of time?
