Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 3 (7.5 ounce) cans buttermilk biscuits not the flaky kind, cold
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 8 ounces dill Havarti cheese shredded

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Brush a bundt pan or tube pan with the melted butter generously but careful not to use too much.
  • Open all the cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarter pieces.
  • Meanwhile, toss the parsley and Havarti cheese together in a large bowl.
  • Place half of the biscuit pieces into the pan, covering most of the bottom.
  • Drizzle half of the remaining melted butter on top of the biscuit layer.
  • Then, sprinkle half of the cheese parsley mixture onto the biscuit layer.
  • Layer the remaining biscuit pieces over the top and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture on top.
  • Bake until puffed and deep golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Allow the monkey bread to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan on a rack, then invert onto the rack while still warm.
  • When cooled enough, re-invert the Cheesy Monkey bread onto a platter or cutting board, cheese-side up.
  • Serve while warm and melty.
