Ingredients:
You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 small cubes of mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped, optional)
Directions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each one slightly with your fingers to create a small disc.
-
Add the Cheese: Place one cube of cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges to seal it completely. Roll each filled biscuit into a smooth ball.
-
Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the sealed cheese bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between them for expansion while baking.
-
Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and parsley (if using).
-
Brush with Garlic Butter: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each cheese bomb. Reserve a little butter to brush on after baking for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed up. You want them to be crispy on the outside and gooey inside.
-
Finish and Serve: Remove the cheese bombs from the oven and brush them with the remaining garlic butter. Serve warm, and enjoy the cheesy, buttery goodness.

Tips to Make Buttery Garlic Cheese Bombs
