Ingredients Overview

Pillsbury Biscuit Dough: Convenient and fluffy, this dough forms the base of these cheese bombs, ensuring quick prep and a tender texture.
Mozzarella Cheese: The gooey, melty cheese center. Feel free to use cheese cubes for even distribution.
Butter: Adds richness and flavor to the garlic butter coating.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic infuses the butter for a mouthwatering aroma.
Parsley: Freshly chopped parsley adds a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
Parmesan Cheese: Optional, but adds a savory kick to the garlic butter coating.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Cheese Bombs: Open the can of Pillsbury biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit slightly in your hand and place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center. Wrap the dough around the cheese, sealing the edges well to form a ball.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed dough balls, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Make the Garlic Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
Brush with Garlic Butter: Using a pastry brush, generously coat each dough ball with the garlic butter mixture. Reserve some butter for brushing after baking.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and puffed.
Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve Warm: Serve these delicious cheese bombs while they’re still warm and gooey!

Recipe Tips

Seal Tightly: Make sure to seal the dough well around the cheese to prevent any melty cheese from leaking out.
Use Different Cheeses: Try experimenting with other cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
Add Extra Herbs: If you love herbs, sprinkle some dried Italian seasoning over the top for extra flavor.
