Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 18 frozen Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed (or 2 cans of refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits, 7.5 ounces/212 grams each)
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) extra grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Butter and Herbs:
- 6 tablespoons (90 milliliters) salted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) dried parsley flakes
Instructions
- Allow frozen dinner rolls to thaw at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours, or alternatively, use refrigerated biscuits for a quicker preparation.
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and thoroughly coat a 12-count muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully divide each thawed dinner roll or biscuit into four equal quarters, creating bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, finely minced fresh garlic, and dried parsley flakes, creating a fragrant and flavorful coating.
- Gently toss six dough pieces in the garlic butter mixture, ensuring each piece is completely and evenly coated with the aromatic blend.
- Strategically place the buttered dough pieces into one muffin cup, creating a clustered arrangement.
- Repeat the coating and placement process with the remaining dough pieces, filling the remaining muffin cups.
- Generously sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese over each muffin cup filled with the coated dough pieces.
- Transfer the muffin pan to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the monkey breads achieve a rich, golden-brown color.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of savory flavor.
- Serve the mini garlic monkey breads warm, allowing guests to pull apart the deliciously seasoned bread clusters.
Notes
- Perfect for gatherings, these mini monkey breads pack incredible flavor into bite-sized portions.
- Prepare ingredients beforehand to streamline the cooking process and reduce last-minute stress.
- Refrigerated biscuits work wonderfully if frozen dinner rolls aren’t available, offering flexibility.
- Customize cheese quantities based on personal preference, making each batch uniquely delicious.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy maximum garlic-buttery goodness and crispy edges.
