Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures those cheese-filled delights will bake evenly and come out golden brown.
Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of Pillsbury biscuits with confidence (be careful not to jump!), then separate them on a clean surface. You’ll want those fluffy rounds ready for action.
Create the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, melt about half a cup of unsalted butter in the microwave. Once melted, stir in garlic powder until fragrant—this is where the magic begins!
Assemble Your Bites: Take each biscuit round and flatten it slightly using your fingers or a rolling pin—don’t worry about perfection! Place a generous amount of shredded cheese in the center before folding it over like an adorable pocket.
Coat with Garlic Butter: Dip each cheesy biscuit pocket into the melted garlic butter mixture until fully coated. Lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Pop those bad boys into the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and emit an irresistible aroma that’ll have everyone wandering into the kitchen.
Now you’re ready to unveil these warm treats during your next gathering!
Remember, cooking should be fun! Don’t be afraid to experiment with different cheeses or even add some cooked bacon bits for extra pizzazz! Enjoy every bite as you share these delightful biscuits with friends and family. Trust me; they’ll love you for it!
