Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 1 container refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz, 8 biscuits)
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded or diced string cheese)
Garlic Butter
- 4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough container and separate the 8 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands to create enough space for the cheese filling.
- Fill with Cheese: Cut the mozzarella cheese into 8 equal pieces. Place one piece of cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit, ensuring an even distribution.
- Seal and Shape: Carefully fold the edges of each biscuit dough around the cheese, pinching to seal completely. Roll each sealed biscuit into a smooth ball shape and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Brush this flavorful mixture generously over all the biscuit balls to coat them well.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Final Touch: Remove the cheese bombs from the oven and immediately brush with any remaining garlic butter mixture to enhance flavor and shine.
- Serve: Serve warm with marinara sauce or ranch dressing on the side for dipping, making these cheese bombs an irresistible appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use mozzarella string cheese or shredded mozzarella for best melting results.
- Ensure biscuit edges are sealed tightly to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
- Serve immediately after baking for gooey, warm cheese inside.
- These cheese bombs can be customized with additional herbs or spices in the garlic butter mixture.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven to restore crispness.
