Tomato Basil Drop Biscuits are an easy side dish you'll enjoy! Biscuits are flavored with Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, onions and basil.
Preheat oven to 425℉ or 218.3℃. Lightly grease/spray a baking sheet.
Heat oil in a small skillet on Medium heat. Add chopped onions; cook for 3 minutes, until they've softened slightly. Stir in tomatoes; cook 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat; stir in basil. Set aside to cool.
In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or 2 forks until it becomes the size of peas.
Add tomato mixture to the flour mixture. Pour in milk; stir only until ingredients are combined. Do not overmix dough.
Drop dough by generous Tablespoons onto greased baking sheet, about 2" apart. Depending on the size of your spoonful, the recipe should yield 8 small biscuits. Lightly sprinkle each biscuit with Parmesan cheese.
Bake biscuits at 425°F (or 218.3°C) for 10-12 minutes. When done, biscuits should be golden brown in color, and set around the bottom edges. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into a biscuit. If it comes out clean, they're ready! Let biscuits cool 1 minute on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
