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.
