Ingredients:
- 2 (10 oz.) cans refrigerated flakey biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
- 1 tsp. Garlic & Herb Spread Mix, dry
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated-divided
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare 12-cup tube pan (i.e. Bundt style) by greasing pan with butter or margarine or cooking spray. Melt butter (or margarine) in a microwave safe bowl. Sprinkle dry Garlic & Herb Spread Mix and salt* over melted butter and whisk with a fork (some small lumps may remain). Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. One at a time, coat biscuits pieces in the melted butter and place in the bottom of the pan creating one layer around the pan. Sprinkle 1/8 cup of Parmesan cheese on this layer and continue coating biscuit pieces in butter and make another layer in pan. Pour in any remaining butter evenly over biscuit pieces in the pan and top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown, and dough is cooked through in the center. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes then invert pan onto a large serving dish. Allow pan to remain upside down for another 5 minutes, this allows residual butter to soak into biscuit pieces. Remove pan and enjoy!
*additional salt is not needed if you are using salted butter or margarine.
