Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces / 454 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 4 ounces (113 grams) mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 cubes
Butter and Seasoning:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon / 5 milliliters dried parsley)
Instructions
- Assemble all necessary ingredients and tools on a clean, spacious kitchen workspace to streamline the preparation process.
- Carefully unfold the biscuit dough, gently separating each piece to maintain its delicate texture and prevent tearing.
- Using your fingertips, delicately flatten each biscuit into a uniform circular shape, ensuring an even surface for the cheese filling.
- Position a single mozzarella cheese cube precisely in the center of each flattened biscuit round, creating a focal point for the filling.
- Skillfully gather the edges of the dough, enveloping the cheese completely and creating a secure pouch by pinching and sealing the edges with careful, precise movements.
- Arrange the transformed dough spheres on a parchment-lined baking sheet, positioning them seam-side down to prevent premature cheese leakage.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated oven, allowing the cheese bombs to transform into golden, crispy parcels over 10-12 minutes.
- Simultaneously, craft a fragrant garlic butter infusion by blending melted butter with finely minced garlic and aromatic Italian seasoning.
- Upon removing the perfectly baked cheese bombs, immediately lavish them with the prepared garlic butter, ensuring each morsel receives a generous coating.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the surface, adding a vibrant green garnish that enhances both visual appeal and flavor profile.
- Serve the cheese bombs immediately while molten and irresistible, optionally accompanying them with a classic marinara sauce for additional dipping pleasure.
Notes
- Seal the cheese completely inside the dough to prevent leakage during baking, ensuring a perfect cheesy center.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar, pepper jack, or blue cheese for unique flavor profiles that match your taste preferences.
- Create a gluten-free version by using gluten-free biscuit dough or making your own homemade dough with alternative flour blends.
- Prep these bombs ahead of time by assembling and refrigerating before baking, making them perfect for last-minute entertaining or quick appetizers.
