Stuffed Jalapeno Pepper Monkey Bread Food

JALAPENO CHEDDAR MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat a 350 degree oven and generously butter a bundt pan.
• Cut the biscuits into quarters. Smash them down a bit with your hand and place a small spoonful of cream cheese spread in each one. Pull the edges of the biscuit together and seal. This part is a bit messy. It's ok if the biscuits aren't sealed completely around the filling.
• In a measuring cup, whisk together the butter and garlic powder.
• Place half the stuffed biscuits in the bottom of the bundt pan. Top with half the cheese and half the jalapeno. Pour half the melted butter over the top. Then sprinkle half the parsley on top of that. Repeat the layers with the remaining biscuits, cheese, jalapenos, and butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove and allow to cool slightly then invert on to a plate. Serve immediately.

STUFFED JALAPEñO PEPPER GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Prepare the jalapeño poppers according to the package directions for the oven.
• Meanwhile, put the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon and pour the rendered fat into a small heatproof liquid measuring cup. You should have about 1/4 cup chorizo oil; if not, top with enough olive oil to reach 1/4 cup. Reserve the skillet.
• Lay the bread slices on a cutting board and brush evenly with the chorizo oil on one side. Flip 6 slices over and top each with 3 tablespoons of the cheese. Divide the chorizo and jalapeño peppers evenly among the 6 slices and finish each with 3 more tablespoons of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 6 slices of bread, chorizo-oil-side up.
• Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Put 2 sandwiches in the skillet and press down with a large lid. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking, covered, until the cheese is melted and the second side is browned, about 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Use a sharp knife to slice each sandwich in half and serve.

NANCY REAGAN'S MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix yeast with small amount of milk until dissolved. Add 2 eggs and beat. Mix in dry ingredients. Add remaining milk a little at a time, mixing thoroughly. Cut in butter until blended. Knead dough, let rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
• Roll dough onto floured board, shape into a log. Cut log into 24 pieces of equal size. Shape each piece of dough into a ball, roll in melted butter. Place 12 balls in the bottom of the buttered and floured mold, leaving space between. Place remaining balls on top, spacing evenly. Let dough rise in mold for 30 minutes. Brush top with remaining egg. Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees until golden brown, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.

PARMIGIANO "MONKEY BREAD" WITH SOPPRESSATA AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with cooking spray.
• Separate the biscuits, cut them in half and roll each piece into a ball.
• Add the dough balls, cheese, soppressata, olive oil, olives, basil, chile flakes and some salt and pepper to a bowl and fold together until everything is fully combined. Put the mixture in the prepared pan.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked and risen, about 30 minutes. Allow the bread to rest for 10 minutes before serving (out of the mold or in the mold works).

BREADED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• In a 6-quart saucepan, combine jalapeños, vinegar and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until jalapeños are tender but not soft, 15 to 20 minutes depending on size. Drain and rinse with cold water. Using a small knife, make a slit along the side of each jalapeño. Keeping jalapeños as intact as possible, carefully remove and discard stems and seeds.
• Using a blunt knife or small spoon, spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter inside each jalapeño, pressing the opening closed. (Do not overlap edges.)
• Spread flour in a wide shallow bowl and roll filled jalapeños to coat them well, roll in egg, then roll in bread crumbs. Set aside on a plate.
• In a large skillet, add enough oil to come about 3/4 inch up the side. Place over medium-high heat until oil is shimmering. Working in batches, fry jalapeños until well browned and crisp on the undersides, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.

JALAPEñO & CHEESE MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Dip 1/3 of the biscuit pieces, 1 at a time, into butter; place in 9x5-inch loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray. Top with 1/2 cup cheese, 3 Tbsp. nacho slices, and 1/4 tsp. each garlic powder and oregano; repeat all layers.
• Cover with remaining dipped biscuit pieces, nacho slices and seasonings.
• Bake 35 min. Top with remaining cheese; bake 5 to 10 min. or until melted. Cool bread 10 min. before removing from pan. Serve warm.
