Description
These gooey, golden cheese bombs are made with Pillsbury biscuit dough, stuffed with melty cheese, and brushed with garlic butter for the ultimate easy snack. Perfect for parties, game nights, or anytime you crave a quick, crave-worthy treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury biscuit dough (regular or flaky layers, such as Grands!)
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes (or cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack)
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced (or 2 tsp, or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cut cheese into 1-inch cubes, about one cube per biscuit.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Stir in minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Set aside. Reserve some parsley for garnish if using.
- Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Flatten each biscuit gently to about 4 inches wide.
- Place a cheese cube in the center of each biscuit. Add herbs or bacon if desired.
- Pull the edges of the dough up and around the cheese, pinching tightly to seal.
- Place each cheese-filled biscuit seam side down on the lined baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- Brush the tops generously with garlic butter. Reserve a little butter for after baking if desired.
- Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until golden brown on top and puffed.
- Remove from oven and immediately brush with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and a pinch of kosher salt.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for best cheese pull.
Notes
For best results, serve warm. Customize with your favorite cheese or add-ins like pepperoni or jalapeño. Seal biscuits tightly to prevent cheese leaks. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven. Not recommended for freezing. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute appropriate dough and cheese.
