Description
This irresistible recipe combines all the best elements of comfort food—flaky biscuit dough, gooey melted cheese, and a heavenly garlic butter topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16oz) container of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese (soft, shredded, or diced string cheese)
- 4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial as it prepares the perfect environment for baking those cheese bombs to golden perfection.
- Open your container of refrigerated biscuit dough. Carefully separate the biscuits and lay them out on your workspace. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, gently flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circular shape. The idea is to create a small pouch that will hold your cheese, so be careful not to make them too thin.
- Take a piece of the mozzarella cheese and place it in the center of each biscuit circle you prepared. Folding the edges over the cheese, pinch the dough together firmly to seal. You want to create a nice little ball, ensuring the cheese stays tucked inside for a melty surprise when you bake them.
- Once all the cheese-filled biscuits are formed, position them seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. This flavorful mixture will enhance the tops of your cheese bombs. Brush this buttery seasoning generously over each of the biscuit bombs to give them a golden crust when baked.
- Now it’s time to bake! Slide the baking tray into your preheated oven and set your timer for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and check for a beautiful golden-brown color. You’ll know they are done when the cheese inside has melted and become gooey, ready to ooze out as you take a bite.
Notes
For best results, don’t overfill your biscuit bombs with cheese—this ensures they seal properly and bake evenly. If you’re using gluten-free biscuit dough, ensure that it is refrigerated before use for best texture when baking.
