Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
  • 2 In 1-gallon bag, mix Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Separate dough into 24 biscuits; cut each into quarters (a pizza wheel works really well for this). Place biscuit pieces in bag. Shake bag to coat dough.
  • 3 Place half of dough pieces in pan. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over dough. Place remaining dough pieces in pan over cheese. Sprinkle any excess Parmesan cheese mixture over dough. Pour melted butter over top.
  • 4 Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Place heatproof plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan. Pull apart to serve.

I use a can of flaky butter grands. I pull apart each biscuit, making 2 and then quarter them. I also add 1tsp garlic powder to the mix. and italian cheese on the first layer.

I love this recipe. I shared it with everyone I could think of. I cut it down for only 2 people. My husband loves it like I do. Going to take some advice and put the garlic in with the butter and maybe a little more cheese since I am a cheesehead.. lol

First time I made this I winged it for the amounts for just two people. But it still turned out great. My husband said I could keep making it anytime. Thanx 4dragontattoos for the 2 people version. I'm making this again tonight to have with spaghetti. I also put a little bit of bread crumbs in with the mix. Worked pretty well. And YUMMY!!!!

I am unable to find the 4/5 ounce cans of biscuits here in central Ohio. Anyone else have this problem?
