Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Cooking spray
1 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 packages prepared biscuits (about 16 biscuits), each biscuit cut in half
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt or tube pan lightly with cooking spray.
Toss the Parmesan, oregano, garlic, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl until well mixed. Roll each biscuit half into a ball. Put 8 of the balls in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, tossing until well coated. Transfer each ball to the Parmesan mixture to coat, then place in the prepared pan. Working in batches of 8, repeat with the remaining dough balls, overlapping in the pan as necessary.
Bake until the dough is puffed and browned, about 50 minutes; check halfway through the baking time and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly.
Let the bread cool 10 minutes. Loosen the bread from the sides of the pan with a thin spatula. Invert the pan onto a baking sheet, then flip the bread (decorative-side up) onto a serving plate.

Cheesy Bacon Appetizer image

Provided by Pat Duran

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large unsliced round sourdough bread
8 oz block of cheddar cheese, sliced into thin slices
1/4 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled, more or less
1 stick butter, melted
1/4 tsp each of dried chives, parsley, dill weed, and garlic powder
1/8 tsp each of onion powder,salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Using a sharp knife cut a cross-hatch pattern into the bread. To do this slice the bread into 1/2 inch slices, making sure not to cut into the bottom crust. After you make the cuts in one direction, it is easiest to get an extra set of hands to squeeze the loaf together to cut it in the other direction.
2. Place the bread onto a large piece of foil and curve up the edges to form a packet. Then place the thin slices of cheddar cheese in between the cut slices. Then sprinkle the top with the crumbled bacon. Set aside.
3. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Then all the dried herbs and spices. Mix all together and let it sit for a minute. Pour the butter herb mixture all over the bread.
4. Wrap the foil all the way around the round of bread and place on a baking sheet. Place in preheated 350^ oven and bake for 15 minutes.
5. Unwrap the bread and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and begins to brown. Remove from oven and place on serving plate. Have your guests tear pieces off to eat. OMG! ENJOY!
