Cheesy Bacon Monkey Bread Recipe

Victoria Knight    Recipes   

Ingredients (for 18 servings)

• 7 strips bacon
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (200 g)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (200 g)
• 10 oz flaky biscuit dough (290 g), 3 cans
• 1 ¼ cups butter (290 g), melted
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 teaspoons italian seasoning
• parsley & minced optional

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Crisp bacon over medium heat. Allow it to cool, then crumble.
3. Generously grease a large bundt pan with cooking spray.
4. In a bowl, mix both kinds of cheese.
5. Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Flatten each piece in the palm of your hand and add a pinch of the mixed cheeses and crumbled bacon. Gather the edges and pinch the biscuit into a ball.
6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic.
7. Drop the biscuit pieces in the butter mixture and place in the bundt pan.
8. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden-brown. (Be careful - the butter may begin to smoke toward the end of the bake time. If it begins to smoke, remove from the oven.)
9. Let stand for five minutes, then place a heatproof plate on top of the pan. Using a pot holder, flip the pan and plate over and invert onto your serving plate. Be careful as the pan will still be hot.
10. Sprinkle with parsley.
11. Enjoy!
