Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan with cooking spray or oil.
Cut each biscuit round into quarters. Flatten each piece slightly, add a pinch of mozzarella cheese in the center, pinch it closed, and roll into a ball.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and Parmesan cheese.
Dip each cheese-filled dough ball into the butter mixture to coat, then layer them evenly in the Bundt pan.
Pour any remaining butter mixture over the dough balls in the pan.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Let rest for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Swap mozzarella with cheddar, pepper jack, or smoked gouda for a flavor variation.

Add cooked bacon or pepperoni inside the dough balls for a meatier version.

Use fresh rosemary or Italian seasoning for a different herb flavor.

Use reduced-fat cheese and biscuits for a lighter version.

To make it spicy, increase red pepper flakes or add hot sauce to the butter mixture.
