Recipe

Charcuterie Bread Bites

• 6 ounces pre-shredded mozzarella cheese, about 2 cups
•         1/2 c pepperoni slices, cut into sixths
•   4-5 ounces fresh Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1               cup), plus 2 T for garnish
•         2-3 T green pepper, minced
•         2 T red onion, minced
•         2 oz Cheddar cheese (I used smokey flavor)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
•         3 T chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 T chopped fresh oregano
• 2 T olive oil
• 2 t fresh garlic, minced or grated
• 2 12-16-oz. cans refrigerated biscuits
• 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed

Preheat oven to 325°F. Stir together mozzarella, pepperoni, onion, green pepper, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, basil, parsley, and oregano in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, combine oil and garlic; drizzle over cheese mixture.

Cut biscuits into quarters  (use kitchen scissors). Add dough pieces to the cheese mixture and gently toss.

Prepare a nonstick Bundt pan with cooking spray. Add the biscuit mixture to the pan.

Bake for 45-50 minutes until top is golden and a wooden pick inserted into the center of a biscuit piece comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool in pan about 5 minutes. Remove from pan, and garnish with additional Parmesan and fresh basil leaves. Serve on a platter with marinara sauce.
