- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) Parmesan cheese, grated
Spices and Seeds:
- 3 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon dried garlic flakes
Seasoning:
- 1/2 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
Optional Topping:
- Cream cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and thoroughly greasing a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- Create a robust flavor blend by combining cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion flakes, garlic flakes, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Integrate melted butter into the seasoning mixture, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and evenly distributed.
- Deconstruct refrigerated biscuits into bite-sized quarters, then transfer these pieces into a large resealable plastic bag.
- Generously coat the biscuit quarters with the prepared seasoning mixture by vigorously shaking the sealed bag until each piece is completely covered.
- Artfully arrange the seasoned biscuit pieces into the prepared bundt pan, creating an intricate layered structure.
- Shield the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 minutes, allowing the bread to develop a golden, crispy exterior while maintaining a soft interior.
- Remove from the oven and let the monkey bread rest for 10 minutes to stabilize its structure.
- Carefully invert the bread onto a serving platter, revealing the appetizing layered design.
- Optional: Enhance the presentation by drizzling warm cream cheese over the top for an extra decadent touch.
Notes
- Customize the seasoning blend by adjusting spice levels or swapping ingredients to match personal taste preferences.
- Use gluten-free biscuit dough for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the same delicious texture and flavor profile.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like gouda or sharp cheddar to create unique flavor variations.
- Prepare the seasoning mix ahead of time and store in an airtight container for quick assembly during busy mornings.
