If you’re looking for a quick and cheesy snack, these Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are a must-try. With gooey mozzarella cheese tucked inside buttery biscuits, all topped with a garlic butter glaze, they’re the perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Pillsbury biscuits: 1 can, forming the base of these easy cheese bombs.
- Mozzarella cheese sticks: 8, cut in half, giving you the perfect cheesy center for each biscuit.
- Butter: 4 tablespoons, melted, adding richness to the garlic butter glaze.
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon, for a savory garlic flavor.
- Italian seasoning: 1 teaspoon, bringing a blend of herbs to complement the garlic butter.
- Marinara sauce: For dipping, adding a tangy and flavorful contrast to the cheesy bombs.
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature ensures that your cheese bombs bake evenly and come out golden brown.
- Step 2: Flatten the Biscuits
- Take each Pillsbury biscuit and flatten it into a round disc. This step creates a perfect base to wrap around the cheese, holding it all together as it bakes.
- Step 3: Add the Cheese
- Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. The cheese will melt inside, creating a gooey center.
- Step 4: Seal the Cheese Bombs
- Wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal. Place each cheese-filled biscuit seam-side down on a baking sheet to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.
- Step 5: Prepare the Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. This mixture will add a savory flavor to the biscuits as they bake.
- Step 6: Brush and Bake
- Brush the garlic butter mixture over the tops of the biscuits. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Step 7: Serve
- Once baked, remove the cheese bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serve these cheese bombs warm for the best experience. The gooey cheese inside is at its best when the biscuits are fresh out of the oven.
- Pair with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce to complement the cheesy, garlicky flavor.
- If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
- These cheese bombs make a great appetizer for parties, game days, or family gatherings. They’re easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
