Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Biscuits (16 count)
- 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese, cut into cubes or segments
- 4 tbsp Salted Butter
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
- Optional: 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Separate the biscuit dough and then cut each biscuit in half to create smaller pieces perfect for stuffing.
- Fill with Cheese: Flatten each piece of dough and place a cube or segment of mozzarella cheese in the center, making sure to use enough cheese for a gooey center.
- Seal the Cheese Bombs: Carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, sealing tightly to form a smooth ball ensuring no cheese leaks out during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cheese bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them sealed and encourage even browning.
- Bake: Bake the cheese bombs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the bombs bake, melt the salted butter in a small saucepan or microwave and stir in the garlic powder and optional Parmesan cheese to create a savory garlic butter mixture.
- Brush and Garnish: Once baked, immediately brush the hot cheese bombs generously with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and a fresh appearance.
- Serve: Serve the cheese bombs immediately to enjoy the melty, cheesy center at its best.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier, meltier texture.
- Can be made ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
- Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory depth.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
