Ingredients
Scale
- 1 container refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz / 454 g, makes 8 biscuits)
- 4 oz (113 g) mozzarella cheese (shredded or diced string cheese)
- 4 tbsps (60 mL) melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or greasing the surface to prevent sticking.
- Forming: Separate the biscuits, gently flatten each piece, and place a portion of mozzarella cheese in the center of each round.
- Sealing: Carefully gather and pinch the biscuit edges around the cheese, creating sealed, smooth balls with the seam facing down on the baking sheet.
- Seasoning: Whisk melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt, then liberally brush the mixture over each biscuit bomb.
- Baking: Cook in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and puffy, ensuring the cheese is melted and the exterior is crisp.
- Finishing: Remove from the oven and apply the remaining garlic butter for enhanced flavor and glossy appearance.
- Serving: Present warm with marinara sauce or ranch dressing, allowing guests to enjoy the gooey cheese and crispy exterior of these delectable bombs.
Notes
- Cheese Sealing Technique: Pinch edges thoroughly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking, creating a perfect seal for gooey, contained filling.
- Butter Brushing Pro Tip: Apply garlic butter before and after baking to maximize flavor intensity and create a glossy, appetizing golden exterior.
- Spacing Matters: Leave slight gaps between biscuit bombs on the baking sheet to ensure even heat circulation and prevent sticking.
- Temperature Precision: Watch carefully during the 10-12 minute baking window to achieve perfect golden-brown color without overcooking or burning.
