Description

Deliciously cheesy and garlic-infused muffins made with buttery biscuit dough and a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Perfect as a savory snack or a flavorful side for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Base

  • 2 cans (16 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits per can)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Garlic Butter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Biscuits: Quarter the refrigerated biscuit dough into smaller pieces to ensure they fit well into muffin cups. Lightly grease the muffin tin to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
  2. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly to blend all the flavors.
  3. Coat Dough and Cheese: Toss the biscuit dough pieces along with shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and grated Parmesan cheese in the prepared garlic butter mixture until evenly coated, ensuring each piece is flavorful.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the butter-coated biscuit and cheese mixture into each muffin cup, pressing lightly to fill the space. Top each muffin generously with additional shredded cheese.
  5. Bake the Muffins: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the muffin tin for 18–20 minutes or until the muffins turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of color and freshness before serving.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute shredded cheese varieties to suit taste preferences.
  • Ensure biscuits are fully cooked by checking for golden color and firm texture.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
