There’s something irresistible about a biscuit that breaks the rules a little. These Cheesy Almond Biscuits are crisp, savoury, and wonderfully moreish, with the nutty richness of almonds perfectly balanced by sharp, melty cheese. They’re the kind of bake that feels equally at home alongside a cup of tea, on a cheeseboard, or nibbled straight from the tin when no one’s looking. Simple to make but full of flavour, this recipe is proof that biscuits don’t always have to be sweet to be special. Below is a video and recipe for you.
