Ingredients needed to make Cheesy Dinner Muffins
- Refrigerated dinner biscuits: pre-made raw biscuits for fast and easy baking.
- Butter: liquid gold that works as the binder for the cheese and herbs.
- Cheese: I used a mix of shredded Italian cheese for that savory flavor.
- Herbs: chopped parsley gives this recipe a fresh and herby punch.
Prep the toppings
Store bought butter biscuits are perfect for this cheesy dinner muffin recipe. If you do prefer to make your own dough, use a flaky butter biscuit recipe.
Remove the biscuits from the package and roll each slice into a ball.
In a bowl, melt 1.5 sticks of unsalted butter and season with Dad’s Steak seasoning. The buttery, herby notes are the perfect touch to add flavor to the biscuits.
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
In another bowl, add a shredded Italian cheese blend and mix in finely chopped parsley. I used a 3 cheese blend of shredded parmesan, romano and asiago. Feel free to use flavors you prefer here. A simple parmesan will do just fine too.
Next, take each biscuit ball and dip it into the seasoned butter first. Then transfer it to the bowl of cheese are roll it around making sure to cover all around.
Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray and place the coated biscuit balls into the individual spots.
Grill cheesy dinner muffins
Heat up the grill or oven to 375 degrees. Place the filled muffin pan on indirect heat for 15 minutes. Once the cheesy dinner muffins are golden brown in color, remove them from the grill. Serve and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
The best part about these savory biscuit muffins is how truly universal they are. Serve them warm with a smear of butter, drizzle them with hot honey, or dip them in hearty soups. They’re perfect for holiday feasts, summer cookouts, weeknight dinners, or casual weekend brunches.
Some of the best pairings include:
- Chili or beef stew
- Smoked turkey or grilled chicken dinners
- Pulled pork sandwiches (use them as mini buns!)
- Breakfast platters with eggs and hash
- Thanksgiving leftovers—they’re perfect with gravy
If you’re hosting guests or feeding a crowd, a basket of warm, cheesy dinner muffins will disappear faster than anything else on the table.
