Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cans (7.5 ounces / 212 grams each) regular buttermilk biscuits
- 8 ounces / 226 grams dill Havarti cheese, shredded
- ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
Butter and Greasing:
- 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons / 170 grams) salted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons / 28 grams salted butter (reserved for greasing the pan)
Baking Equipment:
- 14-cup tube pan or Bundt pan (make sure it does not have a removable bottom)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by preheating to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly coat a tube or Bundt pan with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking and enhance flavor profile.
- Deconstruct refrigerated biscuit cans by slicing each biscuit into four equal quarters. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine shredded cheese with finely chopped parsley, creating a vibrant and aromatic cheese blend that will infuse layers with rich, savory notes.
- Construct the initial bread foundation by distributing half of the biscuit pieces across the pan’s bottom in an even, uniform layer. Generously drizzle half of the remaining melted butter over the biscuit pieces, then sprinkle the prepared cheese mixture across the surface.
- Complete the layering process by adding the remaining biscuit quarters atop the first cheese layer. Pour the final portion of melted butter evenly, followed by the last portion of cheese mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Transfer the assembled pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Monitor the bread’s transformation, looking for significant rising, structural stability, and a deep golden-brown exterior indicating perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and allow the bread to rest within the pan for 10 to 15 minutes on a cooling rack. This resting period helps stabilize the structure and makes handling easier. Carefully invert the bread onto a serving board, presenting the cheese-laden side upward for an appetizing display.
- Serve warm, encouraging guests to pull apart the layers and enjoy the melted, fragrant cheese and buttery biscuit segments.
