Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz or 8-count large)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2–3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional savory add-ins: cooked crumbled beef, shredded mozzarella, provolone, sharp cheddar, red pepper flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Generously grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Dust it lightly with flour or extra Parmesan cheese. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prep the Biscuit Dough: Open the cans of refrigerated biscuits. On a clean cutting board, separate each biscuit and cut it into quarters.
  3. Make the Flavorful Coating: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter and whisk to combine.
  4. Coat the Biscuits: Add half of the biscuit pieces to the butter mixture and toss gently to coat. Transfer them to a separate bowl or a large zip-top bag. Repeat with the remaining biscuit pieces.
  5. Add the Parmesan Cheese: To the bowl or bag with the butter-coated biscuit pieces, add half of the grated Parmesan cheese and any optional add-ins. Toss until evenly distributed.
  6. Arrange in the Bundt Pan: Carefully arrange the coated biscuit pieces in an even layer in the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle any remaining cheese or seasoning over the top.
  7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal pieces are cooked through.
  8. Cool and Invert: Let the pan cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes. Invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate.
  9. Serve Warm: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or chives, if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
