Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Dough:
- 1 can 8-count refrigerated biscuit dough
Cheese Filling:
- 8 small cubes of mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Garlic Butter:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each one slightly with your fingers to create a small disc.
- Add the Cheese: Place one cube of cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges to seal it completely. Roll each filled biscuit into a smooth ball.
- Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the sealed cheese bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion while baking.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and parsley (if using).
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each cheese bomb. Reserve a little butter to brush on after baking for an extra burst of flavor.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed up. You want them to be crispy on the outside and gooey inside.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the cheese bombs from the oven and brush them with the remaining garlic butter. Serve warm, and enjoy the cheesy, buttery goodness.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the cheese bombs before baking.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for a variety of flavors.
