The Recipe

This TikTok sensation comes from Chef Jamie Lee, @DelishChef on TikTok. His page is brimming with mouthwatering ideas that are perfect for busy weeknight dinners. And if you’re looking for a soup recipe to pair with your monkey bread, check out his Instagram!

Ingredients:

Cooking spray
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp onion powder
3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup fresh mozzarella pearls
1 package of Grands biscuits, cut into quarters
Fresh or dried chives for garnish

For an even quicker option, you could use a premade Red Lobster CBB mix instead of regular Grands biscuits.

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Allow the opened can of biscuits to sit at room temp for 10 minutes.
Coat a medium casserole dish or bundt pan with cooking spray.
Melt the butter and mix in all the remaining ingredients. Toss well before transferring to your dish. If your pan is large enough, Chef Lee suggests tossing everything directly in the pan until well-coated and the cheese is evenly distributed.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown. After 30 minutes, conduct a “poke test” with a fork or toothpick to check for doneness.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chives.

What is Monkey Bread?

If you’re not familiar, monkey bread is a fun, pull-apart bread made by cutting dough into pieces and baking them together. The name comes from the way monkeys pick off pieces of bread, similar to how you’ll enjoy this dish. While most people think of sweet versions, like cinnamon monkey bread, this Cheddar Bay twist might just be the best!
