Flaky biscuit dough is filled with mozzarella, parmesan, asiago and if you want pepperoni too! These Cheesy Garlic Monkey Bread Bites will be the first to go at your next party!
I am a sweet person, but you knew that from my baking blog didn't you? But I am also, a CHEESE person. Camembert, Double Cream Brie, English Cheddar.. oh god cheese is so good. Nothing beats coming home after a long day and having some delicious cheese on crackers, buttered crackers of course.
Have you ever tried the Extraordinary Cheddar from Trader Joe's? It's a blend of Parmesan and White Cheddar!! I mean really though how amazing!!! Seriously at my house, we go through blocks on blocks of that cheese. IF you have never tried it go to TJ's NOW!!
I also love cheesey bread. You do too. Who doesn't? Crazy people!! So it was natural for me to adore this bread. Cheesy Garlic Monkey Bread Bites. Perfection. Poppable Perfection. Perfect for a Party. I'll stop with the "p's" now.
These are so easy to make. Start with Pillsbury biscuits cut them into thirds, flatten to discs, add cheesey mixture and extra cheese of course, pinch together then roll in butter and sprinkle with more cheese and if you are feeling frisky add some pepperoni inside! Bake till golden brown and devour. You could totally make these like pizza bites and have a marinara sauce to dip but I just enjoyed the cheeeeeesy bread

HOLD. THE. PHONE. Parm and white cheddar blend? I'm on my way to TJ's right this freakin' second. HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED?! Two of my favorite cheeses in one fantastic cheese hybrid. Sigh. If only they could also incorporate gouda and havarti, I would die happy.
On another note, these monkey bread bites are out of CONTROL, girlfriend! I am in love and can already imagine the amazing smell they produce once baked!
