The easy instructions:
Cut the canned biscuits into pieces and put them in a large bowl with melted butter, olive oil, and garlic. Toss the biscuit pieces in the butter mixture to evenly coat. Arrange one layer of the buttered biscuits in a 9" springform pan which has been sprayed with olive oil spray. Top with dried oregano, basil, shredded Parmesan, and shredded Mozzarella.
Layer the remaining buttered biscuits on top of the shredded cheese and top with additional dried basil, dried oregano, shredded Parmesan and shredded Mozzarella. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake the cheesy garlic monkey bread in a preheated 350-degree oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and puffed.
After listening and talking with various people lately, I've come to realize that the majority of people I've heard from don't especially like to cook or bake. They tend to do it out of necessity, and nothing more.
Many would rather have a recipe that takes only minutes to prepare with a minimum of ingredients to deal with, than a recipe that is a bit more challenging and calls for a long list of ingredients.
Because I want to bring you recipes that you'll actually want to make, going forward I'm going to try and bring you more recipes that are quick, simple, delicious, and easy to follow. I've developed this recipe for Easy & Cheesy Garlic Monkey Bread with just that in mind.
Naturally, if you love to bake homemade bread (like I love to do), you can easily swap out the canned biscuits with your favorite yeast dough to make this Cheesy Garlic Monkey Bread. The method for assembling this loaf will remain the same after the homemade dough has had its first proofing.

It is a really amazing dish. I am trying this by my self soon.
Thanks for the delicious recipe.
can we use some other oil instead of olive oil?
your cheesy garlic monkey bread kudos is really amazing
Renée says
Hi, Edna!
You can use whatever oil is your favorite. I used olive oil to try and stick with an Italian theme, but avocado, canola, grapeseed, or vegetable oil will also work.
Thanks for your questions and enjoy the bread!

You know, I've never made a pull apart bread? That really needs to change because I could put a serious hurtin' on this one. Cheese and garlic are my favorite bread accessories.

I just love that you used a springform pan for this recipe. I've done and also seen it with a bundt pan but I'd say the presentation is much better your way.
