Chef’s Pro Tips for Perfect Results
- Use cold biscuits. They’re easier to work with and seal better around the filling.
- Don’t overfill. A little goes a long way you want them to close tightly and stay sealed while baking.
- Seal the edges well. Pinch the dough tightly to keep the cheese from escaping.
- Brush with butter. Garlic butter on top adds flavor and gives that gorgeous golden finish.
- Serve warm. That’s when the cheese is at its stretchiest, meltiest best.
