Ingredients:
• 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (or your favorite cheese)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing, optional)
Instructions:
• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
• Open the biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
• Place a mozzarella cube in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges to seal completely. Roll it into a smooth ball to ensure no cheese leaks out during baking.
• Arrange the prepared cheese bombs on the baking sheet, ensuring they are slightly apart to allow for expansion while baking.
• In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine.
• Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each cheese bomb, coating them evenly for maximum flavor.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy and savory touch.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese bombs turn golden brown and puff up beautifully.
• Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving, as the melted cheese inside will be very hot.
• Optionally, brush them with a little olive oil for a glossy finish and sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley for garnish.
• Serve warm with marinara sauce, garlic aioli, or your favorite dip for a truly irresistible experience.
These Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside, making them an ultimate treat for any occasion. The combination of buttery garlic flavors and melted cheese makes them addictive, ensuring they disappear within minutes of serving. You can experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or pepper jack for a unique twist. Additionally, for a more flavorful dough, you can use pizza dough or homemade biscuit dough instead of store-bought biscuits. If you want a healthier version, try baking them in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
Whether you’re making them for game nights, family gatherings, or as a quick appetizer for unexpected guests, these Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs will never disappoint. Enjoy them hot and fresh, and watch as they become a favorite in your home!
