Description

Warm, cheesy pull-apart bread studded with jalapeños for a playful kick, perfect for sharing at parties or as a bold bread side.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (16 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and diced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a bundt pan or baking dish.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss biscuit dough pieces with melted butter, shredded cheddar, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease the baking pan then begin arranging the coated dough pieces into the pan, creating even layers.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Layer additional shredded cheese and jalapeños between dough pieces as you go and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
  6. Finishing Touches: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges if using a bundt pan to loosen.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Invert onto a serving board or plate, pull apart pieces and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded cheddar for the best melt and flavor.
  • Roast or sauté jalapeños first for a milder, deeper flavor.
  • Brush with extra garlic butter before serving for extra richness.
  • Assemble ahead and refrigerate, then bake just before serving for convenience.
