The Recipe: Baked Pillsbury Biscuit Cheese Bombs with Garlic Butter
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Pillsbury Grands Classic Southern Style Biscuits | 1 large can (16.3 oz) |
| Mozzarella cheese, cubed | 8 cubes (1 inch each) |
| Butter, melted | 3 tablespoons |
| Garlic powder | 1/8 teaspoon |
| Italian seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Parmesan cheese, grated | 1/4 cup |
| Marinara sauce (optional, for dipping) | As desired |
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the cheese bombs bake evenly and achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of Pillsbury Grands and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into two halves to create eight pieces in total. Use your fingers to gently press each piece into a flat disc.
- Add the Cheese: Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit piece. Fold the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges together to seal the cheese inside. Make sure the seams are tightly sealed to prevent the cheese from oozing out during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cheese-filled dough balls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over each dough ball.
- Add the Finishing Touch: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each cheese bomb. This adds a deliciously crispy and cheesy layer on top.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Serve Warm: Allow the cheese bombs to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, with the cheese still gooey and melty. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
