Description
These bite-sized delights are soft on the inside, golden on the outside, and coated in a rich garlic butter with melted cheese. They’re easy to make, incredibly flavorful, and perfect for parties, game nights, or family gatherings.
Ingredients & Quantities
1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces.
In a bowl, toss biscuit pieces with mozzarella and Parmesan until coated.
Arrange pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Pour the garlic butter evenly over the dough pieces.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Origin and Cultural Significance
Cheesy pull-apart breads and bites are inspired by Italian-American comfort cooking, where bread, butter, and cheese form the heart of many shared meals. These dishes symbolize togetherness, celebration, and food meant to be enjoyed communally.
