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

Use Room Temperature Dough: Let the biscuit dough sit for a few minutes before working with it. It makes it easier to flatten and shape.
Experiment with Cheese: Try different cheese combinations like pepper jack for a spicy twist or gouda for a smokier flavor.
Brush Extra Garlic Butter: Don’t be shy with that garlic butter! The more, the merrier (and tastier!).
