Ingredients

Scale

1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough
16 cubes of mozzarella cheese (about 1 inch each)
4 tablespoons of melted butter
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional Substitutions:

Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free biscuit dough for those with gluten sensitivities.
Dairy-free: Replace the mozzarella with a dairy-free cheese alternative, and use dairy-free butter for the garlic coating.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy twist.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet and Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your biscuit bombs won’t stick. This step is key to achieving a perfect golden crust.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

Carefully open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small disc using your hands or a rolling pin. This will make wrapping the cheese easier.

Step 3: Assemble the Biscuit Bombs

Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit disc. Wrap the dough around the cheese, sealing the edges tightly to prevent any leaks. Roll the wrapped dough into a smooth ball.

Step 4: Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. This mixture will coat the biscuit bombs, giving them a delicious garlic flavor and a beautiful golden finish.

Step 5: Coat and Bake

Brush the biscuit bombs generously with the garlic butter mixture. Then, sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese. Arrange the biscuit bombs on your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one for expansion during baking.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Let the biscuit bombs cool slightly before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy warm. Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

Seal the dough well: Ensuring the dough is sealed tightly around the cheese will prevent the mozzarella from leaking during baking.
Even coating: Brushing the biscuit bombs evenly with garlic butter will ensure a uniform golden-brown color and enhance the flavor.
Customizable fillings: Besides mozzarella, you can try stuffing the biscuits with other fillings like pepperoni, sausage, or a spoonful of pesto for a unique twist.
