Description

This Jalapeño Cheese Monkey Bread is a savory twist on the classic pull-apart bread, made with Pillsbury Grand Biscuits, gooey sharp cheddar cheese, and zesty jalapeños. Coated in a buttery herb seasoning and baked to golden perfection, this mini monkey bread makes the ultimate appetizer or game-day snack!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (8-count) cans Pillsbury Grand Biscuits (cut each biscuit into 6 pieces)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 1/3 cup diced pickled jalapeños
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep:
    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Lightly spray a mini bundt pan or muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Mix Dough with Seasonings:
    • In a large bowl, add the biscuit pieces, melted butter, parsley, oregano, and basil.
    • Use clean hands (or gloves) to mix everything until the dough is well coated.
  • Add Cheese & Jalapeños:
    • Mix in the diced jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese, gently tossing to coat evenly.
  • Assemble & Bake:
    • Divide the dough balls evenly into the prepared mini bundt pans.
    • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
    • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • No mini bundt pan? Use a standard muffin tin or bake as one large pull-apart bread in a loaf or bundt pan.
  • Extra cheesy? Sprinkle additional cheese on top before baking.
  • Spicier version? Use fresh jalapeños instead of pickled or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Dipping idea: Serve with ranch dressing or a spicy queso dip.
