Kitchen Equipment Needed

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Small mixing bowl
Pastry brush (for garlic butter)
Spoon or small scoop for filling
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients Overview

Refrigerated Biscuits: Pre-made biscuit dough makes these easy and convenient. Any standard-size refrigerated biscuit dough works well.
Mozzarella Cheese: Fresh mozzarella provides that irresistible gooey center, but mozzarella string cheese can also work for easy assembly.
Garlic Butter: A simple mix of melted butter, garlic, and Italian herbs coats the biscuit bombs and gives them extra flavor.
Italian Herbs: A blend of dried Italian herbs adds just the right hint of flavor without overpowering the cheesy center.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Biscuits: Separate each biscuit in the can and flatten them slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Add Mozzarella: Place a small cube of mozzarella or a piece of string cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges to seal, creating a ball.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush with Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and Italian herbs. Use a pastry brush to generously coat each biscuit bomb with the garlic butter.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffy.
Serve Hot: Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve while they’re warm and the cheese is gooey.

Recipe Tips

Seal the Edges Well: Make sure the edges of the biscuit dough are sealed well around the cheese to prevent it from oozing out during baking.
Use Fresh Mozzarella: Fresh mozzarella gives the best gooey center, but other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack can be used for variation.
Brush Again After Baking: For an extra boost of flavor, brush the biscuit bombs with more garlic butter right after they come out of the oven.

What to Serve With This Recipe

Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are delicious with marinara sauce for dipping. Pair them with a fresh salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a comforting meal. They also make a great side for pasta dishes or pizza.
