How to Make Baked Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the 8 biscuits.
Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers or a rolling pin
to create space for the cheese.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
Cut the mozzarella into 8 equal pieces.
Place one piece of cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Step 4: Form the Cheese Bombs
Fold the edges of the dough up and around the cheese,
pinching tightly to seal.
Roll into smooth balls and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder,
Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
Mix well.
Step 6: Brush and Bake
Brush the garlic butter generously over each biscuit bomb.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown.
Step 7: Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter.
Serve warm with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
