Step by Step Process
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Spray two muffin tins with cooking spray.
Step 3: In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter with the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and chili flake. Set this aside.
Step 4: Cut each of the 10 biscuits in half, giving you 20 pieces. Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball and place into the prepared muffin pan. Divide the butter mixture evenly between each ball, topping each one with about ½ teaspoon of the mixture. Sprinkle over the parmesan cheese.
Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown, about 10-14 minutes.
Step 6: Serve immediately or within 15-30 minutes of baking. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Enjoy!
