Dorie’s onion biscuits were a quick and easy side dish for our chili supper. Finely chopped onions were sauteed in butter, then added to a typical biscuit mixture. I added some shredded cheddar to some of mine, too…just because cheese makes everything taste better!
These were flaky and wonderful. Hubby wasn’t so thrilled with the oniony taste (good grief, I finally got the man to eat nuts and now the onion is a problem?), but these would make fantastic biscuits even without them.
This recipe can be found in Around My French Table as well as on Amazon’s website.

So jealous of these Liz – sigh! Happy weekend!
these look wonderful!
I really like the rustic looks of these! They have that great quality of toasty on the outside and fluffy on the inside.Cheese and onion are the perfect way to flavor these too. Your hubby is getting spoiled and picky. I am sure a plate of beans for dinner for a week will change that-ha!
que lindos Lizzy! that mean what beautiful are!love them!!!xxxxx
love the name too cause love french! a bientot!
Did I see onion and more onion??? Oh my another one ingredients I love and am drooling over these you have made.
You’re killing me here! I so want these right now … think they’ll survive the mail journey? Hope I can get at the recipe….
These look so flaky and nice – yes, I can see that they would be perfect with a chili supper!
They look real good!
These sound and look fantastic! Good idea with the cheese!
These look lovely.
What are you ever going to do with that husband of yours
have a great weekend.
You’ve achieved such an impressive and attractive texture on these biscuits! These look absolutely scrumptious…
The onions sound so good. Great biscuit.
Sorry your husband didn’t care for them. They look great, though!
I love onion-flavoured bread, but I’ve never thought of adding actual onions – I’ve always opted for seasoning. Such a shame your husband didn’t go a bundle on them – I would have gobbled them up! Have a great weekend!
Husbands can be so finicky! I think the biscuits sound marvelous. And look at how tall and pretty they are!!
Husbands do get to be very picky sometimes! They look fantastic!
Well you are so right about cheese! Liz your biscuits have so much lift and fluff! Who wouldn’t love these? (Aside from Bill!) I need to practice more with these I guess so I can make them like this.
I have never heard of onion biscuits, but it sounds like an excellent idea. I would also say everything tastes better with onion
Oh how my mind is racing with all of the lovely possibilities for this biscuits!
This is awesome!!
I am not a biscuit fan, but I love the onion in this!
Worth a try!
They look superb and I am bookmarking this recipe … I am surely going to try this onion biscuits!
onions+cheese+biscuits. The man does not know what he is talking about. want a basket to eat!
I hate onions as well
I am glad that you added the onion, love onions. These look really tasty and suxh a nice crispy outside. Yum
Totally my taste. I see a bowl of creamy soup, a big salad and a basket full of these! I won’t need anything else…except dessert, of course
Oh boy, Lizzy…now I know why you are a “skinny chick!” You “run circles” around me and a lot of other bloggers, popping out one dish, desserts, after another, while I’m still pondering how to put my next post together…and then do a long “song and dance story”…ugh! I can just kick myself for not making stuff every day; well, partly, because I’m very cautious.
Now, I’ve embarked again on another dangerous FOOD indulgence, the weekend started!
I love the rustic look of your yummy Dorie biscuits, the crunchiness on the outside, yet flaky and melt-in-your mouth goodness. Also, your Vanilla Bean Gelato…love, the recipe, and the creaminess of this gelato, and not the heavy ice cream (not commenting separately)
Have a beautiful weekend my dear friend!
xoxo
Great minds, Lizzy – I couldn’t resist adding cheese, either! We loved these & served them with soup.
Have a lovely weekend!
Oh my god..such a mouthwatering biscuits..it looks just awesome…vl try 4 sure….

Oh yum! Seriously can’t get enough of onions – it’s a huge battle between onions and garlic for which is my favorite! I would totally inhale these, cheese included. Yum!
These biscuits looks superb & tasty! With cheese & onions sound even better! I can eat these the whole day! Have a wonderful weekend , Lizzy!
These look fantastic Lizzy – love the color and height of these biscuits. And tell your hubby to be happy you’re making him biscuits
Cause if he doesn’t want ‘em, I’ll take them!
You taken normal soup style biscuits up to a new level – cheese and onion? Yes please
Thanks my friend!
Cheers

I love biscuits, and I love onions! These look incredible!
Hubby would love these along with my youngest son… wow another winner for you !
What a beautiful, and I bet flavorful, batch of biscuits these are Liz! They would be so delicious with a soup, stew or chowder! Thanks for sharing.
Flaky and melt in your mouth delicious looking biscuits! Beautifully done Lizzy;-)
Lizzy, Your biscuits look gorgeous! I didn’t even put onions in mine…I already knew my husband wouldn’t eat them! Have a great weekend!
Lizzy – your biscuits look fantastic.:) Adding cheese was a great idea – cheese does make everything taste better. Have a great weekend. Geri
Crazy man! If only we lived closer – we could ditch the men and let them eat whatever boring flavorless food they wanted, and we could eat all the good stuff!
I never heard of onion biscuits before. And then in a friend’s potluck party one of my fried got some and we ate with soup. It was so delicious! Now I am curious to make some soon.
Cheese does make everything better! These look phenomenal!
These look delicious, I must buy that book!
I bet these would be delicious with chili or with rustic ham and beans!
thanks for this …I never heard or thought of putting onions in a biscuit.
Gorgeous biscuits Liz! And and the photos are sensational. Interesting that hubby didn’t like the onions, mine wanted to know why the biscuits were special and how I was going to make them more interesting – he ended up liking them though:)
Man, Lizzy, I thought my husband was a picky eater, but yours is worse. These are perfect to go with chili, especially with a splash of cheese.
Come to think of it, I am not sure if I’ve tried biscuits with onion in it. I like onions but wonder how the taste is like all together. I love this look of Biscuits – flaky check, crunchy on top check… Looks WONDERFUL Lizzy!
I happen to like an oniony taste, these sound delightful!
I was just thinking about making savory biscuits recently… these look perfect. I think you are either a genius with flour or you have a magic oven.
Have a great weekend!! ~ Ramona
Liz, bella bella bella, it was so VERY lovely catching up on your posts…all 48 of them that I have missed since the beginning of February!!!!! holy canole, you have made masterpieces…..so much deliciousness, you truly are amazing. After weeks upon weeks of the same colds and viruses rotating in my house over and over again, I am slowly but surely getting back in the saddle again. Sending MUCH love to you across the miles and wishing you a glorious weekend
I love onion and cheese in these biscuits. They sound very tasty.
Yum! Lizzy I could eat a lot of these – if my husband left me any! He LOVES onion and these would make him really happy! Thanks for sharing
Mmmm all my favourite ingredients, especially the cheese. I will be making these soon!
Thanks for your explanation of the gelato vs. ice-cream difference. I read your guest post that was very informative on this as well. Your pictures are, as always, stunning!
You MUST take some pictures of the round barn too – love those gorgeous structures!
They look good, never would have thought to use onions in a pastry. Well, I think this would be considered a pastry?
I can imagine having them with a glass of wine or beer
These looks really good ! Always love the flavor of onion and with cheese I’m sure it taste sensational !
Oh Lizzy, they look and sound so very good. Pinning!!
ButterYum
oooohhh, I bet they were even tastier with cheddar cheese. I’ll have to try that next time. They look perfect.
I have this one bookmarked in my Dorie cookbook, but haven’t made them yet. I think I must change this soon…they really do cook up nice and flaky!!
These sound great with chili! The cheddar sounds like a delicious addition too. I love these Friday reminders of all the other good things I need to explore in this book.
Love onion and love biscuits… this gotta be a match made in heaven!

I always love having biscuits with soup or chili. these look wonderful!
Cheese and onions…what a nice combo to make a biscuit special.
I love the idea of adding cheddar cheese. Your biscuits came out beautifully – what great layers.

Gosh Liz…you make biscuits look so easy. Mine turn out more like hockey pucks. What a great savory biscuit. And you are right…cheese does make everything better! : )
Hmmmmmm
Looking at these at 9pm with a full stomach and I WANT THEM!!!
Just something about warm, flaky biscuits…there’s always room for one more, isn’t there?
I just saw below that I’ve missed some amazing dishes…vanilla bean gelato? Yes please!
Oooooh!!!!! I really want some , they look super delish Lizzy
I agree – these biscuits would be great even without the onion.
Mmmh… cheddar and onions? I’d love to have some of those right now.
These would be good with chili, spaghetti and meatballs, mac and cheese, beef stew, chicken noodle soup, bacon and eggs….I think you get the point. Amazing!!!
I’m looking up the recipe – NOW!
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is one of my favourite areas in Paris, and these biscuits look like they are from one of the many bakeries! I love onion and cheese, so what ever hubby doesn’t eat, pass it on over!
Onion – every good savory recipe should somehow start w/ that…!
These onion biscuits sound so intriguing! I love the way they look too – yum!
