What You’ll Need
- Refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. Cut the eight biscuits in half to make 16 wrappers.
- Pepper jack cheese. Cut the cheese into 16 small, even cubes so each piece of dough can close around one.
- Unsalted butter. Melt 4 tablespoons and brush it over the bites before baking.
How to Keep the Cheese Inside
Flatten each piece of dough just enough to fit a cheese cube in the center. Pull the edges together, pinch the seam firmly, and set the bite seam-side down. Leave a little room between the bites so they can puff as they bake.
How to Serve Buttery Pepperjack Bites
Let the bites cool for 5 minutes before serving so the melted cheese can settle. Serve them warm on their own or with ranch for dipping.
