Parmesan and Mozzarella Cheese Bites

These golden-brown, fluffy biscuits are filled with gooey mozzarella cheese and topped with a sprinkle of parsley. Served with a side of marinara sauce, they make the perfect appetizer or snack.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Marinara sauce (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese.
  5. Gradually add the milk, stirring until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently.
  7. Roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and use a round biscuit cutter to cut out circles.
  8. Place a small piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough circle, fold over, and pinch the edges to seal.
  9. Arrange the cheese-filled dough balls on the baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  12. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with marinara sauce.
