Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16.3 oz) tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the tube of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters, resulting in 32 small dough pieces.
- Step 2: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the mixture for the finishing step.
- Step 3: Place the cut biscuit pieces into a large bowl. Pour the majority of the garlic butter mixture over the dough and toss gently until all pieces are lightly coated. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and gently toss again until the cheese begins to stick to the dough.
- Step 4: Arrange the coated dough pieces evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are separated slightly for maximum crisping. Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the bites are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
- Step 5: Immediately after removing the bites from the oven, transfer them to a clean bowl. Drizzle the reserved garlic butter mixture over the hot bites, then sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley. Toss quickly and serve warm.
Notes
- To maintain freshness, store any fully cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, understanding they will lose some crispness once chilled.
- Revive the texture of refrigerated bites by reheating them in a toaster oven or standard oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until they are piping hot and the edges crisp slightly.
- Serve these warm, savory bites with a dipping station featuring a classic warmed marinara sauce or a cool, herby ranch dressing.
- For maximum garlic impact and shine, ensure you drizzle and toss the reserved garlic butter mixture immediately after the bites come out of the oven while they are still extremely hot.
