A quick and easy pull-apart snack featuring biscuit dough coated in garlic herb butter and layered with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, perfect for entertaining and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz / 454 g) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a little heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut each biscuit into quarters.
  4. Dip each biscuit piece into the garlic herb butter, making sure it’s well coated. Then, roll the piece in a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  5. Layer the coated pieces evenly in the bundt pan, distributing cheese so each bite has that ooey-gooey texture.
  6. Place the bundt pan on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. If the top starts browning too fast, loosely cover with foil.
  7. Let the monkey bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting onto a serving plate.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for best flavor. If the garlic herb butter feels too thick, gently warm it before dipping dough pieces. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even baking. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. For gluten-free, use almond flour biscuit dough; for dairy-free, use vegan butter and plant-based cheese. Reheat leftovers in oven at 325°F for 10-12 minutes to restore texture.
