Ingredients
- 2 (8 count) Pillsbury Grand Biscuits, each biscuit cut into 6 pieces
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ⅓ cup diced pickled jalapenos
- 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a mini bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the monkey bread from sticking and make removal easier.
- Mix biscuit dough and butter: In a large bowl, combine the biscuit dough pieces with the melted butter and dried herbs (parsley, oregano, and basil). Use clean hands or gloves to gently toss the dough pieces until all are evenly coated with the buttery herb mixture.
- Add jalapenos and cheese: Sprinkle the diced pickled jalapenos and finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the dough, then gently mix again to ensure the jalapenos and cheese are evenly distributed among the dough pieces.
- Assemble in the pan: Transfer the coated biscuit dough pieces into the prepared mini bundt pan, layering as needed but not pressing down too hard to keep them light and airy.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the monkey bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before turning it out onto a serving plate. Serve warm for the best gooey, cheesy experience.
Notes
- Use gloves when mixing to avoid irritation from the jalapenos.
- Make sure to coat all biscuit pieces evenly in butter and seasoning for consistent flavor.
- If you don’t have a mini bundt pan, a regular bundt pan can be used but baking time may need to be adjusted.
- Serve this monkey bread warm for best texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven.
