Introduction
Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are the perfect blend of savory and cheesy goodness wrapped in a warm, buttery biscuit.

I remember making these for the first time at a family get-together, and they were an instant crowd-pleaser. The combination of garlic, butter, and cheese encased in a fluffy biscuit is simply irresistible.
Ingredients
To prepare this comforting recipe, you’ll need:
- 1 (16oz) container of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese (soft, shredded or diced string cheese)
- 4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
Feel free to substitute mozzarella with cheddar or any cheese of your choice. For those with dietary restrictions, you can opt for gluten-free biscuit dough and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
How to Make Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
Follow these steps to create your own delicious Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open the container of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circle.
- Add the Cheese: Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit dough circle. Fold the edges of the dough up and around the cheese, pinching to seal and form a ball.
- Season and Bake: Place the cheese-filled biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with the seasoned butter mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve: Serve the garlic butter cheese bombs warm. Enjoy them on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Helpful Tips
- Ensure the biscuit dough is sealed well around the cheese to prevent any leakage during baking.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cooking Tips
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- A silicone baking mat can also be used to prevent sticking.
