Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 oz / 462 g) Pillsbury Grands!TM Flaky Layers biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 8 small cubes of mozzarella cheese (or string cheese cut into pieces)
Cheese and Seasoning:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Garlic Butter Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal baking conditions.
- Carefully separate each biscuit from the can and gently flatten with fingertips to create a smooth, workable surface.
- Position a rich cube of mozzarella precisely in the center of each biscuit disk, ensuring complete coverage with dough by carefully folding edges and sealing tightly to create seamless, compact spheres.
- Craft a fragrant garlic butter mixture by blending melted butter with finely minced garlic and aromatic Italian seasoning, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Apply the infused garlic butter generously across each dough sphere, using a pastry brush to ensure complete coverage, then delicately dust with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
- Transfer the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the bombs to transform into golden-brown treasures with molten cheese centers during a 10-12 minute baking cycle.
- Once removed from the oven, immediately enhance the bombs with a final luxurious brushing of remaining garlic butter and optional fresh parsley garnish.
- Present these delectable cheese bombs while warm, accompanied by a side of marinara sauce for an indulgent dipping experience that elevates the entire culinary creation.
Notes
- Seal the cheese completely inside the dough to prevent leakage during baking, ensuring a perfect molten cheese center in every bite.
- Use room temperature cheese for more even melting and a smoother interior texture that oozes deliciously when you bite into the biscuit bomb.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss to create unique flavor combinations that suit your taste preferences.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute Pillsbury biscuits with gluten-free biscuit dough or use refrigerated gluten-free crescent roll dough as an alternative base.
