Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a bundt pan or a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Cut Biscuits: Cut each of the 8 biscuits into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add Cheese and Jalapeños: Add 1 1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeños, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions to the biscuit pieces.
- Mix Butter and Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Combine All Ingredients: Pour the butter mixture over the biscuit mixture. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly until all biscuit pieces are evenly coated and ingredients are well distributed.
- Transfer and Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before turning out onto a serving plate. Serve warm and pull apart pieces as you eat.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of jalapeños to suit your preferred spice level.
- Fresh jalapeños can be used in place of pickled ones for a brighter, fresher heat.
- This pull apart bread pairs extremely well with chili, soups, or as an appetizer for gatherings and parties.
