Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are the ultimate comfort snack—soft, pillowy biscuits stuffed with gooey melted cheese, brushed with rich garlic butter, and baked until golden brown. They’re bite-sized bursts of flavor that combine the convenience of ready-made biscuit dough with the indulgence of homemade garlic butter and cheese filling. Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or as a quick side dish, these cheese bombs are irresistible from the very first bite.
The magic lies in the contrast: the fluffy biscuit exterior gives way to a molten, cheesy center, while the garlic butter glaze adds savory depth and aroma. They’re simple to prepare, yet they deliver restaurant-quality flavor right from your oven.
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 8 cubes mozzarella cheese (or cheddar, about 1-inch each)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or parsley flakes)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: grated Parmesan for sprinkling
Instruction
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare biscuits: Open the can of Pillsbury biscuits and separate them. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands.
- Add cheese filling: Place one cube of cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough around the cheese, pinching edges tightly to seal. Shape into smooth balls.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place sealed biscuit balls seam-side down on the prepared sheet.
- Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Brush and bake: Brush each biscuit ball generously with garlic butter. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Finish and serve: Brush with remaining garlic butter after baking. Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Serve warm for maximum gooeyness.
Servings
This recipe makes 8 cheese bombs, perfect for 3–4 people as a snack or side dish.
Note
- Cheese choice: Mozzarella gives a stretchy pull, while cheddar adds sharpness.
- Seal well: Pinch dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Serving idea: Pair with marinara sauce or ranch dip for extra flavor.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispness.
