Let’s Make it together
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures our bites bake evenly and achieve that golden hue.
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray. This will help with easy cleanup later.
Melt the Butter: In a small bowl, melt about half a cup of butter in the microwave until bubbly but not sizzling. The smell should start to fill your kitchen with delicious anticipation.
Add Garlic Powder: Stir in garlic powder into the melted butter. You want to create an aromatic blend that guarantees each bite bursts with flavor.
Prep the Biscuits: Open that canister of Pillsbury biscuits like it’s Christmas morning! Separate them into individual biscuits; you’ll want to cut each one into quarters—perfect bite-sized pieces!
Toss in Cheese and Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the biscuit pieces along with shredded cheese and pour over your garlic butter mixture. Toss everything together until well coated—think fun messy baking!
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your cheesy biscuit bits onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake them for about 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown—trust me; you’ll be watching intently as they transform.
Now you’re ready to devour these mouthwatering Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bits that will undoubtedly steal the show at any gathering. Enjoy them warm right out of the oven or let them cool slightly before serving—they’re amazing either way!
