Monkey Cheese Ball Recipes

CHEESY BACON MONKEY BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Crisp bacon over medium heat. Allow it to cool, then crumble.
• Generously grease a large bundt pan with cooking spray.
• In a bowl, mix both kinds of cheese.
• Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Flatten each piece in the palm of your hand and add a pinch of the mixed cheeses and crumbled bacon. Gather the edges and pinch the biscuit into a ball.
• In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic.
• Drop the biscuit pieces in the butter mixture and place in the bundt pan.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden-brown. (Be careful - the butter may begin to smoke toward the end of the bake time. If it begins to smoke, remove from the oven.)
• Let stand for five minutes, then place a heatproof plate on top of the pan. Using a pot holder, flip the pan and plate over and invert onto your serving plate. Be careful as the pan will still be hot.
• Sprinkle with parsley.
• Enjoy!
