Provolone and Wild Mushroom Biscuits
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 ounces fresh wild mushrooms, such as black trumpets, chanterelles, morels, or porcini, wiped clean and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- Pinch plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tablespoons baking powder
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup whole milk, chilled
- 1/2 pound provolone cheese, grated
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 large egg yolk whisked with 2 tablespoons water (to brush on biscuit tops)
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and saute, stirring frequently, until they are browned and all of their liquid has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and let cool in the refrigerator.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor.
- Add the butter cubes and pulse 5 to 8 times, until the butter is just incorporated and the mixture resembles little peas.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl and, using a wooden spoon, mix in the milk and two-thirds of the provolone, the cooled mushrooms, and the scallions until just incorporated.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and form each into a loosely packed ball.
- Place on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between each biscuit.
- Brush each biscuit with the egg wash and sprinkle the remaining provolone over the tops.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
