FAQs About French Dip Biscuits
Yes! You can assemble the biscuits a few hours in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake.
For the best texture, reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the biscuits soggy.
Absolutely! If you have a favorite homemade biscuit dough, you can use that instead.
Provolone is classic, but Swiss, mozzarella, or white cheddar also work well.
To prevent sogginess, avoid overfilling them with roast beef, and always serve the au jus on the side for dipping.
