Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Open the biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Flatten each one slightly.

- Arrange the cheese-filled biscuits in the greased baking dish and brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Bake them in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
