Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 3 tablespoons plant-based butter (natural)
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (natural) (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese and Herbs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella-style plant-based cheese (plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the flavorful garlic butter mixture: Melt the plant-based butter (natural) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the minced fresh garlic, dried Italian herbs (natural), garlic powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for a minute to infuse the garlic fully, then remove from heat.
- Cut and coat the biscuit dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into small bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a large bowl and pour the garlic butter mixture over them. Toss gently to coat the dough evenly with the garlic butter and herbs.
- Add plant-based cheese and parsley: Fold in the shredded mozzarella-style plant-based cheese (plant-based) and chopped fresh parsley, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed among the dough pieces.
- Assemble in the baking dish: Spray a mini muffin tin or a small round baking dish with non-stick spray or lightly grease with plant-based butter (natural). Spoon the coated dough pieces into the pan, packing them slightly together to help create the pull-apart effect.
- Bake to golden, garlicky perfection: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dough is fully cooked and the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Keep the biscuit dough chilled before cutting for easier handling and fluffier texture.
- Toss the dough and garlic butter mixture thoroughly but gently to ensure all pieces are well coated.
- Fill muffin tins about 3/4 full to allow space for rising and even baking.
- Use fresh parsley or herbs whenever possible for the best flavor and color.
- Serve warm to enjoy the melty cheese pull and soft texture.
