Broccoli Cheese Biscuits

These were an experiment.  As I went through the process of making them, I substituted basically every ingredient.  First I wanted to use more broccoli.  And I didn't have the usual kind of cheese.  Then I didn't have any milk.  Then I ran out of Bisquick.  But they came out super moist & pretty delicious; could've used more cheesy flavor, and maybe some spices, but were overall quite good.  Here's the original recipe:

And here's what I made:

1 cup Bisquick
1/2 cup white flour
1 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp half-and-half
5 tbsp water
1 egg's worth of egg substitute
1.5 cups broccoli, chopped, steamed (included the stems but not their tough outside parts)
1/2 cup shredded colby jack
1/2 cup shredded Sonoma Jack Garlic cheese

Follow the normal instructions.  I tried putting vegetarian pepperonis on & in some of them; the ones on top came out crusty and gross, and the ones inside didn't really add anything (I liked the pepperoni-less ones better).  Also, if you want them to keep their biscuit shape, you have to let them cool for a little while after you take them out.  They're more delicious if you eat them immediately as hot little balls of flavor, though.

...and After
