Ingredients (Makes 16 biscuit bombs)

For the Biscuit Bombs:

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury Grands – 8 large biscuits, split into 16)

  • 16 1-inch cubes mozzarella cheese (block cheese preferred, not pre-shredded)

  • 2 tablespoons flour (for dusting hands)

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon salt or garlic salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prep the Dough

  1. Open the biscuit can and separate into 8 biscuits.

  2. Split each biscuit in half horizontally to create 16 smaller rounds.

  3. Lightly flour your hands and flatten each round into a 3-inch circle.

Step 3: Add the Cheese Filling

  1. Place 1 cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough round.

  2. Bring the edges up and around the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal.

  3. Roll gently into a ball and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Tip: Make sure they’re sealed well to avoid cheese leaks during baking.

Step 4: Brush with Garlic Butter

  1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan.

  2. Brush each biscuit ball with the garlic butter mixture generously.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 13–16 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

  • For extra color, you can broil the tops for 1–2 minutes (watch closely).

Step 6: Final Brush & Serve

  • Once out of the oven, brush the biscuit bombs again with remaining garlic butter.

  • Let cool slightly before serving—cheese inside will be hot and melty!

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with warm marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

  • Add them to an Italian-themed appetizer spread with meatballs, antipasto, and bruschetta.

  • Pair with soups or salads as a cheesy side.

Optional Fillings & Variations

  • Pizza Style: Add a slice of pepperoni with the cheese.

  • Bacon Bombs: Add cooked, crumbled bacon inside.

  • Spicy Kick: Add a slice of pickled jalapeño.

  • Herb Upgrade: Mix Italian seasoning into the dough or the butter.

  • Everything Bagel Bombs: Sprinkle tops with everything bagel seasoning before baking.

Tips for Success

  • Use block mozzarella—it melts better than pre-shredded.

  • Don’t overstuff or underseal—cheese may ooze out.

  • Make ahead and freeze unbaked bombs for quick snacks later.

  • Double the recipe for parties—these disappear fast!
