Ingredients:

For the Cheese Bombs:

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits (8 biscuits)
  • 8-10 cubes of mozzarella cheese (about 1 inch each)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional for extra garlic flavor)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Preparation:

1: Preheat the Oven

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

2: Prepare the Biscuits and Cheese

  • Separate each biscuit and flatten it slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
  • Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit round. Fold the edges around the cheese and pinch to seal, forming a tight ball to ensure the cheese stays inside during baking.

3: Make the Garlic Butter Mixture

  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, garlic powder (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to blend all the flavors.

4: Brush the Cheese Bombs with Garlic Butter

  • Arrange the cheese bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one generously with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to coat all sides.

5: Bake the Cheese Bombs

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked.

6: Add Extra Garlic Butter and Parmesan

  • Optional: After baking, brush the cheese bombs with any remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

7: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the cheese bombs warm. They’re best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the cheese is still gooey and melty inside!

Variations:

  • Spicy Cheese Bombs: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.
  • Cheddar-Stuffed Cheese Bombs: Substitute the mozzarella with cheddar or pepper jack for a different cheesy flavor.
  • Italian Pizza Bombs: Add a slice of pepperoni and a pinch of Italian seasoning with the mozzarella for a pizza-inspired filling.

Cooking Notes:

  • Seal the dough tightly: To prevent cheese from leaking out, make sure to pinch the edges of the biscuit dough firmly around the cheese cube.
  • Brush generously with garlic butter: Brushing the biscuits before and after baking with garlic butter adds extra flavor and gives them a beautiful golden color.
  • Serve warm: These cheese bombs are best enjoyed warm when the cheese is still melted and gooey inside.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Perfect for gatherings: These cheese bombs make an excellent appetizer or snack for parties and game days.
  • Pair with dipping sauces: Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli for extra flavor.
  • Serve alongside pasta or soup: These cheese bombs make a great side to pasta dishes or a bowl of soup.

Tips:

  • Freeze extra biscuits: If you have leftover cheese bombs, freeze them after baking. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through.
  • Experiment with cheese: Try different types of cheese like gouda, provolone, or fontina for varied flavors.
  • Add extra toppings: Sprinkle fresh basil, rosemary, or chili flakes on top after baking for additional flavor.
