I love these Italian biscuits. They’re easy to make, flaky, and loaded with Italian seasonings. They’re the best friend side dish for so many meals, and they double as the best croutons, too.

Not only are these the best biscuits ever, but my son Madden, the pickiest eater I have ever met, ate two with his kale salad and loved every bite of it. I honestly canโ€™t believe I just wrote thatโ€ฆMadden and kale in the same sentence.

Recipe Inspiration

We were having homemade Caesar salad with grilled chicken, and I wanted something to accompany it. That is when I came up with these biscuits. Not only were they unique, but they even made the best croutons ever! My kids ate these biscuits up.

  1. Those biscuits look PERFECT, Sandra! Like, I haven’t seen a better looking biscuit before – not a homemade one! So fluffy and rich, and I love the combination of spices on top. Perfect for your chicken Caesar salads!

  3. This recipe was a great alternative for biscuits and gravy. I made a white pepper gravy with some crumbled Italian sausage and peas. Topped the biscuits with powdered garlic. Rolled into a circle and cut into triangles. It was delicious.
