Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking as soon as those biscuits hit the heat.

Prepare Your Biscuits: Open your can of Pillsbury biscuits and separate each one gently. Place them on a cutting board or clean surface ready for action!
Add Filling & Shape Your Bites: Take each biscuit and flatten it slightly with your hands. Place some shredded cheese in the center before folding it over like a little pillow of joy.
Coat and Bake: Dip each filled biscuit into your melted garlic butter mixture before placing them on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown—your kitchen will smell amazing!
Now all that’s left is letting them cool for just a minute before diving in! These Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bits are best served warm—trust me; you won’t be able to resist their cheesy goodness!
