🛒 Ingredients for Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs

To make these cheesy garlic bites, you’ll need:

• 1 (16 oz) container refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
• 4 oz mozzarella cheese (cut into 8 chunks or use string cheese pieces)
• 4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Pinch of salt

Optional add-ins: red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan, or chopped parsley for garnish.

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

• A baking sheet
• Parchment paper or cooking spray
• A small bowl for the butter mixture
• A pastry brush or spoon
• An oven

✨ Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

Want to switch things up? Try these:

• Cheese: Swap mozzarella for pepper jack, cheddar, or fontina.
• Dough: Crescent roll dough or pizza dough can work in a pinch.
• Butter mix: Add a pinch of chili flakes for spice or stir in fresh chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme.
• Topping: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan before baking for a crispy, cheesy top.

🧀 How to Make Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs

Here’s how to make these golden, melty bites of heaven:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 2: Prep the Biscuits

Open the biscuit can and separate the dough. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

Place a chunk of mozzarella in the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough up around the cheese and pinch to seal well—no leaks allowed!

Step 4: Arrange and Brush

Place each sealed dough ball seam-side down on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Brush each ball generously with the garlic butter mix.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top and puffed. The smell will tell you when they’re ready—absolute magic!

Step 6: Final Touch

Brush with any remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with extra herbs or cheese if desired. Serve warm!

🍽️ What to Serve with Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs

These cheese bombs are fabulous on their own, but they shine alongside:

• Marinara or pizza sauce for dipping
• Tomato soup or creamy potato soup
• As a side for pasta dishes like baked ziti or lasagna
• Charcuterie boards for an unexpected cheesy twist

🧊 How to Store and Reheat

Storing: Keep leftovers (if you have any!) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Warm in a toaster oven or oven at 325°F for 5-7 minutes. Microwave works too, but you may lose a bit of crispness.

Freezing: Freeze unbaked, filled bombs on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes to the baking time.
