  • 1 can (16.3 oz) biscuit dough
  • 23 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust based on spice preference)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the squares.
  2. Prepare the dough mixture: Place the biscuit dough in a mixing bowl and gently break it apart. Add the finely chopped jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit dough and mix together until evenly combined.
  3. Spread dough in pan: Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan. Press the jalapeño and cheese biscuit dough mixture evenly into the prepared pan to form a uniform layer.
  4. Bake the squares: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the jalapeño cheese squares to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
