Red Lobster’s warm, savory Cheddar Bay biscuits are a beloved favorite for many seafood lovers. The combination of flaky biscuit layers enveloping oozy melty cheddar cheese is hard to resist. But reheating leftover biscuits at home can be tricky – microwaving often leaves them soggy or rubbery while conventional ovens dry them out.
That’s where air fryers come in! Reheating biscuits in an air fryer is a game-changer, allowing you to revive them with a deliciously crispy exterior and soft, cheesy interior. Follow this simple guide to reheating Red Lobster biscuits in an air fryer perfectly every time.
Benefits of Using an Air Fryer
Air fryers have revolutionized the way we cook and reheat food at home Here are some of the biggest benefits of using an air fryer to reheat leftover Red Lobster biscuits
-
Even heating: The hot air circulates rapidly around food in all directions, reheating biscuits evenly throughout. No more cold centers or burnt edges!
-
Crispy exterior: The constant flow of hot air recrisps the biscuit exterior to be lightly crunchy, just like when freshly baked.
-
Retained moisture: The quick reheating process helps lock in moisture so biscuits stay tender, not dried out.
-
No added oil: Air fryers use little to no oil to crisp and cook food, keeping your biscuits light and healthy.
-
Speed and ease: Reheating in an air fryer takes just minutes, with minimal prep and cleanup needed.
Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these simple steps for reheating Red Lobster biscuits to crispy, cheesy perfection:
1. Preheat Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 325°F. This gives the appliance time to heat up fully so it can quickly and evenly reheat the biscuits.
2. Allow Biscuits to Warm Up
Take biscuits out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before reheating. This prevents them from getting dried out by the air fryer’s heat.
3. Place Biscuits in Fryer Basket
Arrange biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Overcrowding can cause uneven cooking.
4. Reheat for 3-5 Minutes
Air fry biscuits for 3-5 minutes, until heated through. The time will vary based on your air fryer model. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
5. Check Doneness
Carefully remove the basket and check that biscuits are hot in the center. If not, continue cooking 1 minute at a time until fully reheated.
6. Brush with Butter
Once heated, brush biscuit tops lightly with melted butter. This gives them a freshly baked taste and shine.
7. Serve Immediately
Serve the hot, crispy biscuits right away with your favorite seafood dish or enjoy them on their own!
Handy Tips for Reheating Perfection
-
For added moisture, place a small oven-safe bowl filled with water in the air fryer next to the biscuits while reheating. The evaporating water steam keeps them tender.
-
Wrap biscuits loosely in foil to reheat for a softer texture. Remove foil for the last 1-2 minutes to recrisp exteriors.
-
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and reheat within 3-4 days for best quality and freshness.
-
If biscuits seem too moist, air fry a minute or two longer until crispy on the outside. For drier biscuits, reduce cook time by a minute.
-
Add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning on top of biscuits before reheating for extra flavor.
Common Air Fryer Reheating Mistakes to Avoid
While air fryers make reheating easy, there are a few mistakes to watch out for:
-
Overcrowding: Too many biscuits can lead to uneven cooking and poor texture.
-
Too much time: Be careful not to overcook; start with less time and add minutes as needed.
-
No preheating: Always preheat the air fryer fully before adding your biscuits.
-
No temperature check: Use a thermometer or cut biscuit open to ensure they’re fully heated through.
-
Not letting rest: Letting biscuits sit out helps them reheat more evenly for the best texture.

How to Make Copycat Red Lobster Biscuits
- For three minutes, heat the air fryer up to 400 degrees F. First, put the dry biscuit mix into a bowl. Then, add the ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Stir the cheese in until fully incorporated.
- Add ¾ cup water and stir until fully combined. The biscuit dough will be sticky.
- Spray the Air Fryer basket with Avocado Spray or another cooking spray, or put parchment paper in it. You should put spoonfuls of the biscuit dough in the air fryer so that they don’t touch each other.
- Place in the oven at 400°F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the top is golden and toasty.
- While the biscuits are still hot from the air fryer, melt the butter and mix it with the seasoning packet. Then, brush the mixture over the biscuits right away. Serve and enjoy.
Yes, you should be able to find a gluten-free box mix in your local grocery store!
For even cooking, make sure the biscuits are in a single layer in the air fryer basket and don’t touch.
Yes, try adding some Italian seasoning, onion powder, or Old Bay Seasoning to the biscuits to make them taste better.
You don’t have to use parchment paper, but it can help keep the biscuits from sticking to the pan and make cleanup a little easier.
Storage: Store your cheese biscuits once they have cooled to room temperature. Keep them in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days. To eat them warm, put them back in the air fryer or toaster oven for about a minute.
You can freeze Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits for up to three months if you put them in a container with a lid. Place parchment paper between each cookie to prevent sticking.
These biscuits freeze well for later use if you make a lot of them. Just let them cool to room temperature, then put them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months.
Just heat them up in the oven or air fryer until they’re warm and golden when you’re ready to eat them again.
- Ice Cream Scoop. If you’d rather, you can use an ice cream scoop to get even amounts of the cookie mix.
- Try different cheeses. You are welcome to try different kinds of cheese to get a new taste. If you want even cheesier biscuits, add more cheese than this recipe calls for.
- Homemade seasoning. Garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt can be used instead of the seasoning packet if you don’t have it.
- Add Green Onions. To make the dough taste even better, add chopped green onions to it.
- Add more flavor. For extra kick, you can add salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, cajun spice mix, or any other spices you like to the dough.
- Check for doneness. Even though the recipe says 5 to 6 minutes, you should check it a minute early to make sure it doesn’t get too done. Since each air fryer is different, you may need to change the cooking time.
- Brush with butter while hot. Before putting the biscuits in the air fryer, brush them with the melted butter and seasoning mix. This will make them taste their best. So the butter can melt into the biscuits, and you’re ready to take a bite!
