Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 16oz can Refrigerated Biscuits
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Cooking Spray, for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cut Biscuits: Open the refrigerated biscuit can and cut each biscuit into 8 small pieces, resulting in approximately 64 pieces in total.
- Coat Biscuit Cubes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the biscuit pieces in this mixture until they are well coated with the cheesy, buttery blend.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Evenly distribute 5 to 6 biscuit pieces into each muffin cup, making sure they’re packed but not overly compressed.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Optionally, brush any remaining butter mixture over the tops for extra flavor. Let cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy your cheesy, pull-apart mini monkey bread.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a cheese blend for different flavors.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes into the butter mixture.
- Make sure to spray the muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
- These mini breads are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
