Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make these mouthwatering cheese bombs:
- 1 can of Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits (8-count)
- 8 cubes of mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for a stronger flavor)
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese
- Pinch of salt (to enhance the flavor)
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add a small slice of pepperoni or jalapeño with the cheese for a spicy twist.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir well until combined. Set aside — you’ll be brushing this flavorful mixture on your biscuit bombs before and after baking.
Step 3: Flatten and Fill the Biscuits
Open the Pillsbury biscuit can and separate the dough pieces. Gently flatten each biscuit using your fingers or a rolling pin until it’s about 3 inches wide. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each one.
Step 4: Seal and Shape
Carefully wrap the biscuit dough around the cheese, pinching the edges together to seal completely. Roll into a smooth ball shape, ensuring no cheese is exposed (this prevents leaks during baking).
Step 5: Brush with Garlic Butter
Place each dough ball on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Using a pastry brush, coat the tops with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan on top for extra flavor.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp. Your kitchen will smell amazing — like a mix of garlic bread and pizza night!
Step 7: Add Final Touches
Remove the bombs from the oven and brush them again with the remaining garlic butter while still warm. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color.
Serving Ideas
These cheese bombs are so versatile that you can pair them with almost anything! Serve them alongside:
- A bowl of marinara or pizza sauce for dipping
- Creamy tomato soup or vegetable soup
- Spaghetti, lasagna, or fettuccine Alfredo
- A simple salad for a balanced meal
You can also make them mini-sized for party platters — just cut each biscuit in half before filling and bake for 9–10 minutes instead.
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes or microwave for 20–30 seconds until warm.
Avoid reheating too long or the cheese might become tough instead of gooey.
Pro Tips for Perfect Cheese Bombs
- Make sure the biscuits are sealed well to prevent cheese from leaking out. - Use cold cheese cubes — they melt slower and stay gooey longer. - Don’t overbake; golden brown is your perfect cue. - For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes to the garlic butter mix. - Always serve them warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
