How to Make Cheddar Bay Garlic Butter Swim Biscuits

jumbo lump crab biscuits and gravy

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, garlic, salt, and dried parsley. Melt in short intervals until fully combined, then set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cheddar cheese, chives, and buttermilk. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Don’t overmix, you want the biscuits tender.

Pour the melted garlic butter into the bottom of your baking dish. Spread the biscuit dough evenly on top. It’s completely fine if the butter pools around the edges and over the top. That’s what gives you those crispy, golden edges.

Score the dough into portions, then bake for 25 to 28 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.


How to Make Jumbo Lump Crab Gravy

jumbo lump crab biscuits and gravy

In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté the shallots, bell peppers, and garlic until soft and fragrant.

Sprinkle in the flour and stir until it’s fully absorbed, creating a light roux.

Deglaze with seafood stock, stirring to combine. Once it begins to thicken, pour in the heavy cream and continue stirring.

Let the gravy simmer until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Season with salt, pepper, tarragon, and parsley. Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat and let it warm through for a minute or two. Avoid overmixing so you keep those beautiful chunks intact. Remove from heat.


Assemble

Brush the warm biscuits with garlic butter and finish with a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning.

Cut into thick portions and spoon that rich crab gravy right over the top. Finish with fresh chives and serve immediately.


Storage and Reheating

Store leftover biscuits and gravy separately in airtight containers in the fridge.

To reheat biscuits, warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through to keep that crisp edge.

Reheat the crab gravy gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of cream or stock if needed to loosen it back up. Avoid overheating to keep the crab tender.


Final Thoughts

This Jumbo Crab Biscuits & Gravy is the kind of dish that makes you slow down and savor every bite. It’s rich without being overwhelming, comforting but still elevated, and packed with flavor from top to bottom.

Perfect for when you want to bring something unforgettable to the table… or keep it all to yourself.

How to Make the Egg Wash

Whisk the egg and water or milk in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.


How to Prepare the Seafood Filling

In a pot over low heat, melt the butter completely. Add the lobster, shrimp, garlic, thyme, and salt. Stir occasionally and allow the seafood to poach gently for several minutes until partially cooked. The butter should remain at a gentle simmer without bubbling.

Once the seafood is about three-quarters cooked, remove it from the butter and let it rest for a few minutes. Once cooled, cut the lobster and shrimp into bite-sized pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cooked lobster and shrimp, crab meat, green onions, red onion, bell pepper, parsley, white cheddar, Old Bay, and black pepper. Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab to keep the pieces intact.


How to Assemble the Egg Rolls

Place two egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Spoon the seafood filling into the center. Brush the edges with egg wash. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides toward the center. Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edge. Repeat until all filling is used.


Frying Instructions

Heat canola oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about a few minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack.


Air Fryer Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly brush or spray egg rolls with canola oil, coating all sides. Arrange in a single layer in the basket with space between each. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.


Baking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush or spray with canola oil to help them crisp. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and heated through.


Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with lemon wedges and the homemade remoulade sauce for dipping. These egg rolls pair perfectly with a fresh side salad or crispy fries for a complete meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back their crispiness. For longer storage, freeze uncooked egg rolls and cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

Seafood & Vegetable Filling

  • To a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the shrimp and langostino with salt and pepper for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside once cooked.
  • To the same pan, sauté onions, bell peppers and celery, cook until the onions are translucent. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Creamy Gravy

  • Turn the heat down to medium low and add the butter and stir. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle in the flour and continue to stir until all the flour is absorbed by the vegetables.
  • Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and allow to come to a slight simmer. Then, pour in the heavy cream and stir until combined.

  • As soon as they come out of the oven, brush on the herb garlic butter and serve. Enjoy!
