Cheese-Filled Parmesan Biscuit Loaves

8 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
1/3 Cup Walnuts, Finely Chopped
2 Ounces Cream Cheese, Softened
1-1/2 Tablespoons Fresh Basil, Finely Chopped
1 Clove Garlic, Minced
8 Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
1/4 Cup Butter, Melted

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease two 9 x 5 or 8 x 4-inch loaf pans. In small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and walnuts; mix well. In another small bowl, combine cream cheese, basil and garlic; mix well.

Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Spoon 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture on half of each biscuit. Fold biscuit over cream cheese; press edges to seal.

Dip each biscuit in melted butter; coat with cheese-walnut mixture. Arrange 4 biscuits, seam side down, in each greased pan. Drizzle any remaining butter over biscuits; sprinkle with any remaining cheese mixture.

Bake at 350 F. for 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan. Serve warm. Store in refrigerator.
