Ingredients
- Biscuit Dough: You can use store-bought biscuit dough for convenience or make your own from scratch.
- Cheese: Mozzarella is the most common choice for this recipe, but you can use cheddar, gouda, or a blend of your favorites.
- Butter: Unsalted butter is used for the garlic butter glaze, which adds richness and flavor to the bombs.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic is preferred, as it provides a more aromatic and robust flavor than garlic powder.
- Parsley: Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the garlic butter glaze.
- Salt and Pepper: These basic seasonings help bring out the flavors in both the dough and the garlic butter glaze.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough: If using store-bought biscuit dough, open the can and separate the dough into individual biscuits. If using homemade dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Stuff the Dough: Place a small amount of shredded cheese (1-2 tablespoons) in the center of each biscuit. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese and pinch them together tightly to seal the cheese inside. Roll the dough into a ball to ensure it stays sealed.
- Bake the Cheese Bombs: Place the cheese-filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Garlic Butter: While the cheese bombs are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Coat with Garlic Butter: As soon as the cheese bombs come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the garlic butter glaze. Make sure each bomb is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Serve: Allow the cheese bombs to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, or enjoy them on their own.
