Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Bombs
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grands! flaky layer biscuits
- 8 pieces mozzarella cheese, cubed (about 1-inch each)
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Biscuits: Separate the biscuits from the can and flatten each one slightly using your hands to create a surface for filling.
- Fill Biscuits: Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit, then fold the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges tightly to seal the cheese inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to expand while baking.
- Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt, mixing thoroughly to create a flavorful brush-on sauce.
- Brush Biscuits: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of each sealed biscuit ball to coat them evenly.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the cheese bombs warm for the best gooey and buttery experience.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella cubes for best melting results; pre-shredded cheese may not melt as evenly.
- You can substitute fresh parsley with dried parsley if needed, but reduce the quantity as dried herbs are more concentrated.
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- Serve with marinara sauce as a dipping option to add a tangy contrast.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
