Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Filling
- 1 container refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz, 8 biscuits)
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded or diced string cheese)
Garlic Butter Coating
- 4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough container and separate the 8 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly using your hands to create enough space to hold the cheese filling.
- Cut Cheese: Cut the 4 oz mozzarella cheese into 8 equal pieces, each sized to match the biscuits for even filling.
- Fill and Seal: Place one piece of mozzarella in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese and pinch the dough firmly to seal the cheese inside. Roll each sealed biscuit into a smooth ball and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Coat Biscuits: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the surface of each biscuit ball, ensuring a flavorful coating.
- Bake: Bake the biscuit cheese bombs in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown, puffed up, and cooked through.
- Final Touch: Remove from the oven and immediately brush with any remaining garlic butter for added flavor and shine. Serve warm accompanied by marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh refrigerated biscuit dough and do not overfill with cheese to avoid leakage.
- Use shredded mozzarella or diced string cheese depending on your texture preference.
- Serve immediately for the best gooey cheese experience; these do not reheat well.
- Substitute Italian seasoning with your favorite herb blend like oregano or basil if desired.
- Can be frozen prior to baking; bake directly from frozen adding a couple extra minutes to the baking time.
