Quick breakfast biscuits with savory cheddar cheese will add a boost to your morning meal.

These are pretty straightforward biscuits — adapted ever so slightly from Joy The Baker. Basically, her buttermilk biscuit recipe plus some shredded CHEEESE! Obviously. Have you met me? #cheese4dayzzz. I make these in the food processor (it takes like .2 seconds: shred the cheese, pulse the dry ingredients with the cheese, cut in butter, add wet ingredients. DONE. I mean, shape and bake… but then, DONE.

So easy! I also freeze these, since I’ve been told it’s inadvisable to eat 12 biscuits by myself in one sitting. Seems like solid advice, so I’ll pass that along to you (you’re welcome). I keep these in the freezer until BREAKFAST TIME (the best time), then bake as normal!

White Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits
Recipe: adapted from Joy The Baker
Serves: 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
2/3 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup cold buttermilk

1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Add the shredded cheese, then cut in the butter. When there are no chunks of butter larger than a pea, add the egg and buttermilk. Gently mix until mostly incorporated (it's okay to still be a bit crumbly).

4. Turn the dough out onto the counter and use your hands to bring it together and distribute the moisture — but don't overwork it! Shape into a 1" tall rectangle, and cut into 12 equal pieces.

5. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the centers are fully cooked.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
