Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands! refrigerated biscuits (8 count)
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 ½-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Work Area Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Gather all your ingredients before opening the biscuit package to ensure a smooth workflow. Remember, keeping the biscuits cold until you’re ready to work with them is key to easy handling.
- Step 2: Create the Garlic Butter Mixture In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning. Stir in the chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this mixture for brushing on top later, and allow the remainder to cool slightly while you prepare the biscuits.
- Step 3: Prepare the Biscuits Open the tube of Pillsbury biscuits and separate them. Take one biscuit and gently flatten it with your palm until it’s about 3-4 inches in diameter, making it thinner in the center and slightly thicker around the edges. Try not to overwork the dough to keep the final texture light and fluffy.
- Step 4: Stuff and Shape Place a cube of mozzarella in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges up and over the cheese, pinching firmly to seal. Roll the biscuit between your palms to create a smooth ball with no visible seams. Place each completed cheese bomb on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- Step 5: Apply Garlic Butter and Bake Using a pastry brush, generously coat each biscuit ball with the reserved garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if using. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-14 minutes, until the Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are golden brown and cooked through. Watch closely in the final minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Step 6: Serve and Enjoy Allow the cheese bombs to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to prevent mouth burns from the molten cheese center. Serve warm while the centers remain gooey for the ultimate taste experience. If desired, brush with any remaining garlic butter for extra flavor before bringing to the table.
