Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
- Chef's Knife
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cans Pilsbury Grand Biscuit
- 16 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup roasted garlic
- 3/4 cup parsley, minced
- 3/4 cup basil, minced
- 1/3 cup canola oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. This is the first essential step; starting with a hot oven ensures your bread rises and bakes evenly. You want that warm, inviting smell to fill your kitchen!
- While the oven heats, combine the cheese, roasted garlic, parsley, basil, and canola oil in a large mixing bowl. Make sure the cheese is shredded to allow it to melt beautifully and combine with the other ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Next, divide each biscuit in half. This is crucial for creating those delightful layers. You want to make sure you’re not just cutting through but filleting the biscuits to create pockets for the cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture on top of one half of each biscuit and then stack the other half on top. This layering will ensure each piece is packed with flavor.
- Transfer the stacked slices into a greased 9x5 bread pan. Make sure to arrange them nicely, as the way they stack will affect how they pull apart later.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 375 degrees F. You’re looking for a baking time of about 40 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on it; if the top starts browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with foil.
- Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes. This step is important as it allows the cheese to set a bit, making it easier to pull apart.
- Finally, serve warm and enjoy! The gooey cheese and savory garlic will have everyone coming back for more.
Notes
- Check your dough: Make sure the biscuit dough is fresh. Old dough can lead to a dense texture.
- Roasting garlic: If you’re unsure how to roast garlic, simply wrap whole bulbs in foil and bake them until soft.
- Cheese choices: While Gruyere is fantastic, feel free to experiment with other melting cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar.
- Storing leftovers: Keep any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
