Recipe Tips
- Add the diced jalapenos to each piece of biscuit rather than sprinkling them on. This ensures that every bite has a kick of flavor and heat.
- Be sure that you don’t separate the biscuit pieces after cutting. They’ll puff up next to each other creating sort of mini monkey breads.
- Remove the biscuits as soon as they’re golden. You don’t want to dry them out and make them hard.
Variations
- You can use any brand of biscuit you like so long as they’re large.
- Make a monkey bread version of this by adding the garlic butter to the bottom of a bundt pan, mixing the cheese, jalapeno, and biscuit pieces together, and pressing them into the pan.
