Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8-count) buttermilk biscuits
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113 g)
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan with cooking spray for effortless bread removal.
- Flavor Development: Craft a robust garlic butter by blending melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and kosher salt, creating an intensely aromatic base for the bread.
- Cheese Preparation: Mix shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses in a bowl, ensuring an even, luxurious distribution of dairy elements.
- Layering Technique: Gently separate biscuits into delicate layers, then meticulously brush each piece with the fragrant garlic butter, strategically positioning cheese between the layers within the prepared pan.
- Final Seasoning: Drizzle remaining garlic butter over the layered biscuits, generously sprinkle additional cheese, and cover with foil to prevent excessive browning during initial baking phase.
- Baking Process: Place pan in preheated oven, initially covered, and bake until cheese melts completely. Remove foil and continue baking until the surface transforms into a rich, golden-brown with crisp, enticing edges.
- Serving: Allow bread to rest briefly after removing from oven, enabling cheese to set and flavors to intensify. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm, inviting guests to enjoy the pull-apart texture and garlicky, cheesy experience.
Notes
- Butter Technique: Mince garlic finely and whisk with melted butter for maximum flavor infusion and even distribution.
- Layer Separation: Gently pull biscuit layers apart to create thin, delicate surfaces that absorb garlic butter and cheese more effectively.
- Cheese Melting Strategy: Mix mozzarella and cheddar for a complex, creamy texture that provides rich, gooey consistency when baked.
- Baking Protection: Cover with foil initially to prevent burning, then uncover to achieve a perfect golden-brown crispy exterior.
