Ingredients
- 1 tick butter semi-melted
- 1 can Biscuit 16 oz, flaky layers, buttery
- 4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 oz Monterey jack cheese shredded
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shaved
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Shred all of the cheeses, cut the butter into cubes to be semi-melted (spreadable), and mince garlic.
- Use kitchen shears to cut each biscuit into quarters.
- Place the dough pieces in a large bowl with all of the shredded cheese. Gently toss cheeses with the dough until each biscuit is coated.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, semi-melt the butter, meaning most of it should be melted, but overall still have some form to it. Add the minced garlic, fresh parsley, and seasonings to the butter, stir together with a spoon.
- Generously butter a cast iron skillet. Arrange the cheese covered biscuit ball pieces to cover the pan in an even layer. Spread the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes or until biscuits are risen and golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes after removing skillet from the oven.
- Serve warm! This savory monkey bread recipe is excellent on its own, but I think they’d be delicious dipped in ranch, marinara sauce, or something of your choice!
