Why You’ll Love Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie

What sets this pot pie apart is the golden, flavorful Cheddar Bay biscuit topping—brushed with melted butter and herbs—that perfectly complements the rich, velvety seafood medley beneath.

It’s a comforting, all-in-one meal with a flavor profile guaranteed to satisfy both seafood lovers and biscuit devotees alike.

The Secret to a Creamy Seafood Filling

The heart of this dish is its creamy, savory filling packed with chunks of tender shrimp, sweet crab, and hearty white fish. A blend of sautéed aromatics, fresh herbs, and a touch of lemon heightens the natural flavors of the seafood. For extra depth, a splash of white wine and a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning bring balance and complexity, ensuring the filling sings beneath its biscuit lid.

Creating Perfect Cheddar Bay Biscuits

These Cheddar Bay biscuits are more than just a topper—they’re the star of the show. Combining sharp cheddar, garlic, and fresh parsley in a tender drop biscuit dough, they bake directly atop the bubbling pie, forming a rustic golden crust. A finishing brush of garlic-herb butter pushes the biscuits over the top, infusing every bite with savory goodness.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar casserole.
2. Make the Seafood Filling:
   • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic until softened, about 4 minutes.
   • Stir in flour and cook while stirring for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
   • Gradually whisk in broth and heavy cream (plus wine if using). Simmer until mixture thickens, 3-4 minutes.
   • Add shrimp, fish, and crab. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just opaque. Stir in peas and carrots, Old Bay, salt, pepper, parsley, and lemon zest. Remove from heat and spread in prepared baking dish.
3. Prepare Cheddar Bay Biscuits:
   • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Stir in shredded cheddar and parsley. Pour in milk and mix just until combined (do not overwork).
   • Spoon large dollops (about 6-8) of dough evenly over the seafood filling.
4. Bake the Casserole:
   • Bake for 25-28 minutes, until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbling at the edges.
5. Finishing Touch:
   • Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley, then brush over hot biscuits immediately after baking.
6. Let rest a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
