Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or 12 biscuits)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Ingredient Highlights
- Biscuit Dough: The biscuit dough serves as the base for these cheese bombs, giving them a fluffy and soft texture once baked.
- Cheese: Mozzarella provides the perfect melt and stretch, while Parmesan adds a savory, salty bite.
- Garlic and Herbs: Fresh garlic and a blend of Italian herbs bring out bold, aromatic flavors that complement the cheese perfectly.
- Butter: The melted butter enhances the richness and adds an extra layer of flavor, especially when brushed over the tops of the bombs.
Instructions
Prepare the Cheese Bombs:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Garlic Herb Coating: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Stuff the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your fingers or a rolling pin. Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the cheese and pinch to seal the edges, creating a ball.
- Coat the Cheese Bombs: Dip each cheese-filled dough ball into the garlic herb butter mixture, ensuring that the entire surface is coated. Place the coated cheese bombs in the prepared baking dish, arranging them closely together.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic herb butter. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve warm.
