Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Bombs
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers biscuits (8-count)
- 8 cubes mozzarella cheese (about 1-inch each)
Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the can of Pillsbury biscuits and separate each biscuit. Slightly flatten each biscuit using your hands or the back of a spoon to make wrapping easier.
- Add Cheese: Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the biscuit edges up and over the cheese, pinching the dough tightly to seal it completely and form a ball shape.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each sealed biscuit bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for expansion during baking.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend the flavors.
- Brush Before Baking: Generously brush each biscuit ball with the garlic butter mixture, coating them evenly to enhance flavor and promote a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are golden brown and puffed up, indicating they are cooked through.
- Final Brush: Immediately upon removing from the oven, brush the biscuit bombs again with any remaining garlic butter to add extra moisture and garlic flavor.
- Serve Warm: Serve the biscuit bombs hot for the best experience, enjoying the gooey, melted mozzarella inside.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for the creamiest melt and best flavor.
- Ensure the biscuit edges are sealed tightly to avoid cheese leakage during baking.
- These can be served with marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
- For a crispy variation, brush with a bit of Parmesan cheese before baking.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
