These Carthay Circle Fried Biscuits are a staple at the ritzy California Adventure restaurant. Located at the Disneyland Resort, the Carthay Circle restaurant is one of the fanciest dining experiences at the park. If you’re planning an adults only Disney vacation, or looking for an elegant dining experience while you’re there, book a reservation for this restaurant as soon as you can; the place books out months in advance! The food is delicious, albeit pricey. So if a ritzy dining experience isn’t in the cards, make these cheesy jalapeño bombs at home! They’re so easy to make and taste exactly like the popular appetizer. Light and crispy on the outside, gooey and cheesy on the inside. Perfect to enjoy in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Ingredients in Copycat Fried Biscuits
These little fried balls may look and taste fancy, but they’re so easy to make, you won’t believe it! Here’s all you need:
Shredded cheese – I used a mixture of cheddar and Monterrey jack, but you could use cheddar and Pepper jack for extra spice. And here’s a little tip: shred your own cheese from a block instead of pre-shredded. It just melts so much better. Cooked bacon – You’ll need about 5 or 6 strips of cooked bacon, finely chopped. I’ve also used the pre-cooked bacon pieces (NOT bacon bits) which are found near the regular bacon of your grocery store. Diced jalapeño – I like to use the jalapeños in a jar and not a fresh one. Eggs, milk and salt and pepper – These are used as a binding agent for the cheese, bacon and jalapeño balls. A tube of refrigerated biscuit dough – any canned biscuit dough works great. I happen to be partial to the buttermilk flaky biscuits or any Pillsbury biscuits. Some oil for frying – I prefer vegetable oil.

How to Store Leftover Fried Biscuits
To keep leftover fried biscuits fresh, here’s how to properly store your leftovers:
Make sure the biscuits are cooled completely before storing so they don’t become soggy. Store fried biscuits in an airtight container or ziploc bag. If you need to layer the biscuits, place a piece of wax paper or parchment paper in between layers. Fried biscuits can be stored at room temperature for a few hours or overnight. But any longer than that, you should pop them in the fridge for up to a few days.
