Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Small bowl
• Pastry brush
• Oven
• Parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients Overview

• Biscuits: Pre-made biscuit dough saves time and creates a soft base for these cheese bombs.
• Cheese: Choose mozzarella or cheddar for a gooey, melty center.
• Butter: The melted butter brings richness and helps the garlic and herbs adhere to the biscuits.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic or garlic powder for the signature savory flavor.
• Parsley: Adds a fresh touch of color and flavor to the buttery topping.

Ingredients

• 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 8 small cubes of mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Make the Garlic Butter

• In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and parsley (if using).

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

Recipe Tips

• Seal Well: Ensure the dough is sealed tightly around the cheese to prevent any leakage while baking.
• Cheese Options: You can experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda for unique flavors.
• Add Spices: For extra flavor, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning or Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
• Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare these cheese bombs ahead of time, refrigerate them, and bake when ready to serve.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• These cheese bombs pair wonderfully with tomato soup, salads, or as a side dish with pasta.
• Serve them with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
