Ingredients

1 (16 oz) container refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
4 ounces mozzarella cheese (shredded, soft diced, or string cheese pieces)
4 tablespoons melted butter (half a stick)

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Dough

Open the container of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.

3. Add the Cheese Filling

Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the edges of the dough up and around the cheese, pinching them tightly to seal and form a ball.

4. Arrange on the Baking Sheet

Place the cheese-filled biscuit balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

5. Make the Garlic Butter Topping

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
Brush the tops of each biscuit bomb generously with the seasoned butter mixture.

6. Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Serve the garlic butter cheese bombs warm. They’re perfect on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.

Serving Suggestions

As an Appetizer: Serve on a platter with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
With Soup: These pair perfectly with tomato soup or a creamy chicken soup.
As a Side: Serve alongside pasta dishes like spaghetti or lasagna for an extra indulgent meal.

Tips for Perfect Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs

Seal Tightly: Ensure the dough is tightly sealed around the cheese to prevent leaks.
Experiment with Cheese: Try cheddar, pepper jack, or a mix for a fun twist.
Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture for a little heat.
Extra Crispy Tops: Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan on top before baking for a crispy, cheesy finish.

Storage and Reheating

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness. You can also microwave them for 20-30 seconds, though they may lose some texture.
Freeze: Freeze before baking for up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
