Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Filling:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Dough:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
Seasoning and Topping:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish with non-stick spray or parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the cheese bombs.
- Carefully unroll the biscuit dough and gently separate each individual biscuit, creating a soft, malleable base for the cheese bombs.
- Using your fingertips, delicately flatten each biscuit into a thin, uniform circular shape, creating an ideal pocket for the cheese filling.
- Position a generous portion of shredded mozzarella precisely in the center of each flattened biscuit, preparing for the signature cheesy interior.
- Carefully fold the biscuit edges over the cheese, meticulously pinching and sealing the borders to create a compact, fully enclosed spherical shape.
- Craft the aromatic garlic butter blend by combining melted butter, finely minced garlic, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, and freshly chopped parsley in a small mixing bowl.
- Arrange the cheese-filled dough spheres in the prepared baking dish, ensuring slight spacing between each bomb for even cooking.
- Liberally brush the entire surface of each dough ball with the fragrant garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and visibly melted cheese interior.
- Remove from oven and allow the cheese bombs to cool momentarily, then serve immediately alongside marinara sauce or your preferred dipping condiment.
Notes
- Cheese Selection: Choose low-moisture mozzarella for a gooey, stretchy interior that melts perfectly without becoming watery.
- Sealing Technique: Pinch dough edges firmly to prevent cheese leakage during baking, ensuring a clean and intact cheese bomb.
- Butter Enhancement: Use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced for a more robust, authentic flavor profile in the garlic butter sauce.
- Dietary Adaptation: Swap regular biscuit dough with gluten-free options for celiac-friendly version, maintaining the same delicious texture and taste.
