Tips and FAQs!
Can I use a different cheese?
Definitely! You can use a different shredded cheese of choice.
What is Monkey Bread?
Monkey Bread is traditionally a sweeter bread made of balls of dough that have been rolled in cinnamon sugar. It is traditionally made in a bundt pan.
This recipe is a fun spin on the classic. Turning a traditionally sweet recipe into a savory, cheesy side dish.
And instead of making in a bundt pan, using a muffin pan to make individual servings.
How long will leftovers last?
This recipe is best served immediately. Warm from the oven.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
What size of muffin pan should be used?
I used a standard-size, metal muffin pan. You could also use a standard-size silicone muffin pan.
You could use a larger, jumbo muffin pan but the cook time will need to be longer.
How many mini cheesy breads does this recipe make?
Using a standard muffin pan this recipes makes 12 pieces.
However, you can easily half or double the recipe to make more or less.
What should mini cheesy monkey bread be served with?
They are a great side dish with so many dinners. I love having them with Italian food such as pizza or pasta. Such as with this Instant Pot Penne Bolognese or Cheesy Sausage Baked Gnocchi.
