Description
Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie combines a creamy seafood and vegetable filling with golden, cheesy Cheddar Bay biscuits baked on top—an indulgent skillet supper perfect for cozy, celebratory meals.
Ingredients
- 1 lb seafood medley (shrimp, scallops, white fish), bite-sized
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all‑purpose flour
- 1 cup seafood or chicken stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (packaged or homemade)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted (for biscuit mix)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt 3 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add mixed vegetables and sauté until just tender.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in seafood stock, stirring until smooth. Simmer until thickened.
- Stir in heavy cream, Old Bay, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper.
- Gently fold in seafood, cooking just until it begins to turn opaque (it will finish in the oven). Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, 1/2 cup cheddar, milk, and melted butter until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the filling in the skillet, leaving small gaps.
- Sprinkle extra cheddar on top of biscuits.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are golden and filling bubbles.
- Let rest 10 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and chives before serving.
Notes
- Use a medley of seafood or a single type like shrimp or white fish—just cut into even pieces.
- Frozen mixed vegetables work great; no need to thaw, just sauté directly.
- Substitute homemade biscuit dough if preferred—just fold in cheddar and herbs.
- For gluten‑free, use a 1:1 baking flour and gluten‑free biscuit mix.
- Assemble filling up to a day ahead, refrigerate, then top with fresh biscuit dough and bake when ready.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) until hot and bubbly.
- Freeze extra filling or individual portions (without biscuits) for up to 2 months; thaw before topping and baking.
