Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Refrigerated biscuit dough, about 1 can (gluten-free if preferred)
- Plant-based cheese, shredded, 1 cup
- Smoked turkey bacon, chopped, 1/2 cup
- Garlic powder (natural), 1 teaspoon
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), 1 tablespoon
- Fresh parsley, chopped, 2 tablespoons
- Olive oil, 2 tablespoons
- Natural gelling agent, 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough Pieces: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into smaller bite-sized chunks suitable for mini portions.
- Create the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and a pinch of salt. Stir in the natural gelling agent until evenly mixed, creating a flavorful coating for the dough.
- Toss Dough with Flavor: Add the dough chunks into the garlic butter mixture and gently toss to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated with the savory mixture.
- Layer with Cheese and Bacon: Grease a mini muffin tin well. Sprinkle shredded plant-based cheese and chopped smoked turkey bacon evenly into each cup. Layer one or two coated dough pieces on top of the cheese and bacon, repeating layers until cups are filled.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the prepared muffin tin for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the plant-based cheese has melted beautifully.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Allow the Mini Garlic Monkey Breads to cool slightly before serving warm and gooey.
Notes
- Keep biscuit dough chilled until just before use to maintain fluffy texture.
- Ensure every dough piece is fully coated with the garlic butter mixture for consistent flavor.
- Thoroughly grease the muffin tin to prevent sticking and preserve the shape of the breads.
- Watch baking time to avoid overbaking and keep the inside soft while achieving a golden crust.
- Customize with extra herbs or cheese on top before baking for enhanced flavor and appearance.
