Description

This Jalapeno Cheese Monkey Bread is a deliciously cheesy and spicy pull-apart bread made with tender biscuit dough, sharp cheddar, and pickled jalapenos. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or party treat, this easy-to-make recipe combines melt-in-your-mouth cheese with the subtle heat of jalapenos, all baked to golden perfection in a mini bundt pan.

Ingredients

Bread and Seasoning

  • 2 (8 count) Pillsbury Grand Biscuits, each biscuit cut into 6 pieces
  • ⅓ cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon basil

Fillings

  • ⅓ cup diced pickled jalapenos
  • 1 ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a mini bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set the pan aside while you prepare the dough mixture.
  2. Combine Dough and Seasonings: In a large bowl, add the biscuit dough pieces, melted butter, dried parsley, oregano, and basil. Using clean hands or gloves, gently mix everything together, ensuring all dough pieces are evenly coated with the butter and herbs.
  3. Add Jalapenos and Cheese: Fold in the diced pickled jalapenos and shredded sharp cheddar cheese, mixing gently to incorporate them without deflating the biscuit pieces.
  4. Assemble in Bundt Pan: Transfer the coated dough balls into the prepared mini bundt pan, arranging them evenly for consistent baking and easy pulling apart later.
  5. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through. The cheese should be melted and bubbling.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the monkey bread from the oven, let it cool slightly for a few minutes, then invert it onto a plate or serve directly from the pan. Enjoy warm for the best gooey, spicy cheesy experience.

Notes

  • Use gloves when mixing in jalapenos to avoid skin irritation from the pepper oils.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of jalapenos or use mild pickled peppers.
  • You can substitute sharp cheddar with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for variation.
  • For easier cleanup, line the bundt pan with parchment paper or foil before spraying.
  • This recipe can be doubled using a larger bundt pan or two mini bundt pans.
