Ingredients

• 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil and lightly grease it.
2. Cut each refrigerated biscuit into four pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Pour the melted butter over the biscuit pieces and toss gently until evenly coated.
4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until the cheese is distributed throughout the dough.
5. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are cooked through, the cheese is melted, and the edges turn beautifully golden brown.
7. Let the pan rest for about 5 minutes before separating the bites. Serve warm for the best crispy edges and gooey cheese.
