Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (16 oz / 454 g total) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup (100 g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 4 tbsp (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp mixed fresh rosemary and thyme, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking pan generously with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined to make the herb butter.
  3. Open the biscuit dough cans and cut each biscuit into quarters, yielding roughly 16-20 pieces.
  4. Coat each dough piece generously with the herb butter mixture using a pastry brush or your fingers.
  5. Layer the bread by placing one piece of dough into the pan, then add a cube of mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat layering dough pieces and cheese cubes alternately, stacking loosely. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over every layer.
  6. Brush the top with any remaining herb butter and sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese for a crispy crust.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Tent with foil if the top browns too fast.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use dairy-free cheese and vegan butter for a dairy-free version. Substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs (1 tsp each if dried). Gluten-free biscuit dough can be used but texture may vary. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Cut biscuit dough into quarters for best pull-apart effect.
