Asiago and Cheddar Drop Biscuits

Ever been to Fog City Diner in the Embarcadero? They have these amazing cheddar biscuits that are more than heavenly. They are warm, flaky, and most likely jam packed with butter. If your in the mood for healthier savory biscuits, try these! I love these little guys because they are easy to make and better than dinner rolls. One of my favorite parts of these biscuits is the cheese, especially the cheddar. It reminds me of the 'burnt' cheese in microwavable macaroni and cheese that everybody loves.
