Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Dough
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
Cheese Filling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic Butter Topping
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits for shaping.
- Flatten Dough: Flatten each biscuit on a clean surface using your hands or a rolling pin to create a thin base for filling.
- Add Cheese Filling: Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit to create a gooey center.
- Seal Dough Balls: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese to form a ball, pinching all seams securely to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to ensure they hold their shape.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add minced garlic; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
- Add Parsley and Seasoning: Remove the garlic butter from heat, stir in chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Brush Dough Balls: Generously brush each dough ball with the garlic butter mixture to add flavor and help the Parmesan adhere.
- Sprinkle Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each buttered dough ball to add a savory, cheesy crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the dough is fluffy and cheese melted.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm for the best cheesy, buttery experience.
Notes
- Make sure to pinch the dough seams tightly to prevent the cheese from oozing out during baking.
- You can substitute mozzarella with a blend of cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack for different flavors.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- These cheese bombs are best served fresh and warm to enjoy the melty cheese inside.
- You can prepare these ahead of time and refrigerate unbaked dough balls; bake shortly before serving.
