How to Make Our High-Protein French Dip Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Separate the biscuits and flatten each one into a square or circle about 1/4-inch thick.
- Place half of the flattened biscuits onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Layer each piece with roast beef, a slice of cheese, and a small spoonful of caramelized onions if using.
- Top with the remaining dough pieces and pinch the edges tightly to seal each biscuit.
- Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush it over the tops.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over each biscuit.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly crisp.
- Garnish immediately with fresh parsley while hot.
Make the Au Jus
- Combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme in a small saucepan.
- Simmer for 5–10 minutes over medium heat until slightly reduced and flavorful.
- Serve warm in small bowls for dipping.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
Serve these French dip biscuits fresh out of the oven with warm au jus for dipping. They pair well with a simple salad, roasted vegetables, or sweet potato fries.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, use an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 4–5 minutes to keep the biscuit texture flaky. Avoid microwaving if possible.
You can also freeze unbaked biscuits for up to 1 month and bake directly from frozen, adding 5–7 minutes to the cook time.
Tips & FAQs
How do I prevent soggy biscuits?
Pat the roast beef dry before layering and avoid adding too much filling. This keeps the dough crisp and fully baked.
Can I make these higher in protein?
Yes. Add extra roast beef or use high-protein biscuit dough if available. You can also include a thin layer of Greek yogurt cheese spread inside.
What’s the best cheese for French dip biscuits?
Provolone melts beautifully and gives that classic flavor, but Swiss or mozzarella also work great.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble them a few hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Can I change the filling?
Absolutely. Try steak strips with peppers (Philly-style), or add horseradish sauce for a spicy kick.
