Introduction
These Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are an irresistible snack or appetizer, combining gooey mozzarella with buttery, garlicky biscuit dough. Perfect for parties or a cozy night in, they come together quickly and bake to golden, cheesy perfection.

Ingredients
- 1 container refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz, 8 biscuits)
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded or diced string cheese)
- 4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Step 2: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough container and separate the 8 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly to make room for the cheese.
- Step 3: Cut mozzarella into 8 equal pieces. Place a piece of cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Step 4: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the cheese and pinch to seal. Roll into smooth balls and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Step 5: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Brush generously over each biscuit.
- Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up.
- Step 7: Remove from the oven and brush with remaining garlic butter. Serve warm with marinara or ranch for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- Try using pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella for a spicy twist.
- If you prefer, sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top before baking for added cheesiness.
- Make sure to seal the biscuit edges well to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
Storage
Store leftover cheese bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to retain crispness. Avoid microwaving to keep the biscuit texture flaky.
