Press the biscuit dough into a cup shape.  *get them to go up the sides a little more than I did, as mine didn't "envelope" the broccoli and cheese as much as I'd liked.

Put them in the 400F oven for 10-12 minutes. *See how they puffed 'out' the filling rather than enclosing it, next time I will press it out better, or even use a bigger biscuit.

They popped right out and were nice and crispy.

Serve with a hearty soup or stew. You could even add chicken with the broccoli for chicken and broccoli cups! My son is vegetarian and had a couple with a salad. Pop them in your kids lunchbox!

This was my first time making this, next time I will flatten the cups out before I put them in the tin to ensure that they close up around the ingredients. There are so many variations you could try!

  • 1 can of biscuits
  • Broccoli (washed, chopped and steamed)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Preheat oven to 400F
