From Frozen to Fancy Herb-topped Biscuits

This fun and delicious technique to upgrade your bread basket, uses herbs. You can use this technique with any rolled biscuit recipe or for super easy shortcut, with frozen biscuits!

We plant herbs in the garden every spring, but you can use herbs from the grocery store for this technique. You can use the fresh herbs of choice: Italian parsley (flat not curly), sage, rosemary sprigs and thyme.

Note: If using thyme, choose sprigs that are young and green, avoiding thyme with woody stems.

We keep frozen biscuits in our freezer for the convenience of pulling out a couple at a time and baking them up. We love Mary B’s Biscuits as they taste homemade and go to the freezer to the table in 20 minutes. Feel free to use the frozen biscuits of your choice or favorite ‘from scratch’ rolled biscuit recipe.

• This technique calls for blanching your herbs of choice in boiling water 5 to 10 seconds and then plunging in ice water to set the color and stop the cooking process.
• Drain your herbs on paper towels and top with additional paper towels.
• Weigh down the herbs with a heavy skillet or pan to flatten them neatly. (I used a baking sheet with a heavy Dutch oven on top to flatten).
• Let stand 5 minutes.

• Lightly brush tops of frozen biscuits with egg wash; arrange herbs on top of biscuits, keeping herbs flat.
• Gently brush a little more egg on top of herbs to seal the herbs in place.
• Add a sprinkling of flaky sea salt on top if desired.
• Bake according to your biscuit recipe or package directions.

Mary B’s Biscuits directions call for placing biscuits together with sides touching to increase their rise during baking. Bake approximately 20 minutes.

I experimented with Mary B's frozen tea biscuits that are bite size, which worked well too. They would make a fun and easy party bite, served with pimento cheese, pepper jelly or chicken salad!
