{How to make Savory Herb and Cheese Monkey Bread}
**{Ingredients:}**
– 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

– 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
**{Directions:}**
1. Preheat your oven. Start by cutting the biscuit dough into quarters.
2. In a separate bowl, make the herb butter by combining melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
3. Now, take your quartered biscuit pieces and dip them in your prepared herb butter.
4. The next step is the cheese. Mix both types of cheese and parsley in another bowl, and roll your buttered biscuit pieces in it.
5. Arrange these cheesy pieces in a bundt pan and bake!
6. Wait for 5 minutes after baking, then turn the bread out onto a serving plate, and voila!
{How to serve Savory Herb and Cheese Monkey Bread}
This delicious monkey bread can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish. Pair it with a warm, hearty soup on chilly days or with a fresh, crisp salad. It’s the perfect shareable snack for gatherings, or even for an indulgent weekend brunch!
{How to store Savory Herb and Cheese Monkey Bread}
This bread is best enjoyed right out of the oven while the cheese is still stretchy and gooey. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat in a warm oven (about 300°F or 150°C) until the cheese becomes gooey again.
{Tips to make Savory Herb and Cheese Monkey Bread}
Remember to get your biscuit dough from the refrigerated section, not the frozen section. For faster and even baking, space the dough pieces apart in the pan. Finally, don’t skip the cooling step before removing the bread from the pan – this makes it easier to handle.
{Variation (if any)}
If you prefer, you can play around with the herbs and cheeses to suit your palate. Try using blue cheese and rosemary, or cheddar and dill. You can also add some chopped bacon or ham for extra flavor!
{FAQs}
– **Can I Use Homemade Dough?**
Absolutely! If you’re a whizz baker and prefer to make your own dough, go ahead. Just remember, this could alter the cooking time so keep an eye on it.
– **Can I Make This in Advance?**
This monkey bread tastes best when served warm, straight out of the oven. However, you can prepare the unbaked monkey bread a couple of hours in advance and refrigerate it. Bake just before serving.
– **What If I Don’t Have a Bundt Pan?**
Don’t worry if you don’t have a bundt pan. You can make this in a regular baking dish – it will taste just as delicious! However, the cooking time may vary so adjust accordingly.
