3 Savory Monkey Breads
December 13, 2018
It's the best time of the year for savory Monkey Bread because its something you can make ahead and bring to a party that everyone can dig in and enjoy. I experimented with 3 different monkey bread ideas using Old Croc Garlic and Herb cheese as the base flavor, and I loved how they all came out! The first one I made was heavily focused on the pure flavor of the cheese and it came out with a similar vibe to garlic knots. For the second one I added tomatoes, onion, and parsley to give it a bruschetta flavor, and for the final one, shaved steak and caramelized onions to make it cheesesteak.
Roll all the dough into small 1 inch balls and coat them with butter.
Then add them all to a baking dish or oven safe bowl! For the Garlic and Herb version, add the cheese in with the bread as you build it.
I like serving this one with a spicy tomato sauce and it tastes like garlic knots.
For the bruschetta version, add tomatoes, onion, and parsley along with the cheese.
I served this one in the baking dish instead of flipping it out.
For the cheesesteak version, add shaved steak and onions along with the cheese.
So good! I used the cake pan so this would have more height.
The crispy cheese on the sides is my favorite. This would also go really well with a tomato sauce or even a spicy queso.
A great dish to bring to your next party!
You could flip this one out too if you wanted to, but I liked having it in a dish.
