Ingredients
Ingredients
Butter
1/4 cup (Melted)
Dried Parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons (Dried)
Dried Dill Weed
1 teaspoon (Dried)
Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup (Grated)
Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits
1 (10-12 ounce) can (Quartered)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the center.
2
In a 9-inch pie pan, place the butter and melt it in the oven. Alternatively, use a microwave if you're using a glass pan. Once melted, stir in the dried parsley, dried dill weed, and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
3
Take the refrigerated buttermilk biscuits out of the can, and cut each biscuit into quarters. One by one, swish each quartered piece into the melted herb and cheese mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
4
Arrange the coated biscuit pieces in the pie pan, placing them closely together—this will help them rise and create a fluffy texture.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for a few minutes to absorb the flavorful butter and herbs before serving.
