Ingredients
Scale
For the cheese bombs:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)
- 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (about 1-inch each)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting, optional)
For the garlic butter topping:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For garnish (optional):
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. - Prepare the Dough
Open the biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Lightly dust hands with flour if needed. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circle. - Add the Cheese Filling
Place a mozzarella cube in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the cheese, pinching tightly to seal. Roll into a smooth ball and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. - Bake the Cheese Bombs
Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown and puffed up. - Make the Garlic Butter
Melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt. - Brush with Garlic Butter
Once baked, brush cheese bombs with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan or red pepper flakes if desired. - Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dip.
Notes
- Different Cheeses: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, gouda, brie, or pepper jack.
- Spicy Version: Add cayenne to the butter or include jalapeño slices.
- Herb Infused: Mix fresh basil, oregano, or thyme into the butter.
- Bacon & Cheese Bombs: Wrap a small piece of cooked bacon around the cheese cube before sealing.
