Mini Garlic Monkey Breads

Tonight I was looking for some sort of bread to go with a soup I was making. I wanted something fast and easy, something different for my family. I came across this recipe on one of my favorite recipe websites: realmomkitchen.com. It was good. I would recommend serving this hot, straight from the oven.

2 (7.5 oz.) Cans Buttermilk Biscuits
6 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
2 Tablespoons Parsley Flakes
3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated plus 2 Tablespoons additional to sprinkle to the top if desired

1. Cut biscuits into 4 pieces and place in a bowl. I used kitchen shears to cut the biscuits. You could also use a pizza cutter.

2. Combine the melted butter, parsley flakes, and minced garlic, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese together and pour over biscuit pieces.

3. Gently toss the biscuit pieces to get evenly coated with the butter mixture.

4. Using a 12 cup muffin tin, place 6-7 pieces of the coated biscuit dough into each muffin cup. Use the additional 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and sprinkle on top of the breads in the muffin cup.

5. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 12 mini garlic monkey breads.
