Green Chile Cheese with Garlic Butter Pull-Apart Loaves


  • Author: Emily
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 jumbo refrigerated biscuits (cut into quarters)
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1½ cups shredded Colby Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 4 oz can green chile peppers, drained
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease two loaf pans or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. Cut each biscuit into quarters. You should have a large pile of doughy pieces.

Step 2: Mix the Cheese and Chiles

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cheddar, Colby Jack, and drained green chiles.
  2. Toss until everything is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Coat the Dough

  1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic.
  2. Add the biscuit pieces to the cheese mixture.
  3. Pour the garlic butter over the top and gently toss to coat every piece.

Step 4: Assemble the Loaves

  1. Divide the coated dough evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
  2. Press down slightly to ensure the dough is snug but not overly packed.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  2. If needed, cover loosely with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning.
  3. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before removing from the pans.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
  2. Serve warm and let everyone pull apart their own cheesy, garlicky piece!
