Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese (cut into 8 equal cubes)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into 8 individual biscuits.
  3. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round circle.

Step 2: Fill with Cheese

  1. Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit dough round.
  2. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, pinching tightly to seal. Roll the dough into a ball to fully encase the cheese.
  3. Place the filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter

  1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried oregano, and salt until well combined.

Step 4: Bake the Cheese Bombs

  1. Brush the tops of the cheese bombs with half of the garlic butter mixture.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed.
  3. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the remaining garlic butter mixture.

Step 5: Serve

  • Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce or enjoying on their own.

Cooking Notes

  • Sealing the Dough: Make sure to pinch the seams tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.
  • Butter Brush: Brushing the garlic butter both before and after baking adds extra flavor and makes these cheese bombs irresistibly buttery.
  • Cheese Choice: Mozzarella works well because it melts smoothly, but you can also use cheddar, Gouda, or even a mix of cheeses for a different flavor.
