Ingredients
Appetizer Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 stick salted butter (approx. 113 grams), melted
- 5 ounces crumbled blue cheese (not fancy)
- Dried rosemary or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly rub a 9-inch pie plate with some softened butter to prevent sticking.
- Prepare biscuit base: Cut each biscuit from the dough into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly inside the buttered pie plate creating a base layer.
- Add butter and cheese: Pour the melted salted butter evenly over the arranged biscuit pieces. Then, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese generously on top of the buttered biscuits.
- Bake the appetizer: Place the pie plate in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from oven and, if desired, sprinkle dried rosemary or parsley on top for added flavor and presentation. Serve warm.
- Optional fancy touch: For added sweetness and flavor contrast, drizzle honey and a sprinkle of sea salt before serving. Adding dried cranberries can also give a festive touch.
Notes
- You can use any type of blue cheese you prefer, but avoid very fancy or expensive varieties as the recipe is best with crumbled, robust cheese.
- Butter can be adjusted to taste; ensure it’s well melted for even coverage.
- Herbs are optional but add nice color and aroma.
- This appetizer is best served warm to enjoy the melted cheese texture.
- Adding honey and sea salt balances the strong blue cheese flavor with sweetness and saltiness.
- Dried cranberries add sweetness and a pop of color for holiday occasions.
