Description

Mini Garlic Monkey Breads are soft, flavorful bite-sized breads bursting with savory garlic, melted (plant-based) cheese, and smoky turkey bacon flavor. Perfectly portioned and quick to prepare, they make an irresistible appetizer or snack that is easy to customize and enjoy for any occasion.

Ingredients

Dough and Cheese

  • Pre-made biscuit dough – 1 can (about 16 oz)
  • Melted (plant-based) cheese chunks or shredded cheese – 1 cup
  • Natural gelling agent – 1 tsp

Meat and Seasoning

  • Smoked turkey bacon, chopped – 6 slices
  • Garlic powder – 1 tsp
  • Fresh minced garlic – 2 cloves
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) – 1 tbsp
  • Apple cider vinegar (natural) – 1 tbsp
  • Olive oil – 3 tbsp
  • Fresh parsley (optional), finely chopped – 2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough pieces: Begin by cutting your biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces and arranging them in a large mixing bowl. This will serve as the base for the flavorful additions.
  2. Cook smoked turkey bacon: While prepping the dough, crisp up chopped smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Once done, set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
  3. Mix garlic butter glaze: Combine olive oil, fresh minced garlic, garlic powder, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar (natural) in a small bowl. Whisk until well incorporated.
  4. Coat dough with glaze and add bacon: Pour the garlic butter glaze over the biscuit dough pieces, tossing gently to ensure every piece is coated. Sprinkle the crispy smoked turkey bacon evenly and fold in the melted (plant-based) cheese chunks or shredded cheese along with the natural gelling agent.
  5. Assemble in muffin tin: Grease a mini muffin tin well with olive oil or non-stick spray. Fill each cup generously with the coated dough pieces, building little towers bursting with cheese and bacon.
  6. Bake until golden: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the (plant-based) cheese is bubbling. Monitor closely to prevent overbrowning.
  7. Add finishing touch: Once out of the oven, brush the monkey breads with any remaining garlic butter glaze and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • Select quality soft biscuit dough for tender, fluffy bites.
  • Toss ingredients gently to keep dough light and airy without overmixing.
  • Crisp the smoked turkey bacon well to add perfect smoky texture.
  • Use fresh minced garlic to elevate aroma and flavor.
  • Slightly underbake if you prefer softer breads inside.
