Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16 oz / 454 g) Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (1-inch each)
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsps Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Position oven rack to center and warm to 375F (190C), lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dough Transformation: Individually stretch each biscuit dough into a 3-inch circular platform, creating a delicate canvas for the cheese core.
- Cheese Encapsulation: Nestle a mozzarella cube at the center of each dough circle, then meticulously fold and pinch edges to create a secure, leak-proof parcel with the sealed side facing downward.
- Flavor Infusion: Whisk melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, then lavishly brush the herbed mixture across each biscuit bomb’s exterior.
- Baking Alchemy: Slide the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the bombs to metamorphose into golden-brown delicacies over 12-15 minutes.
- Finishing Flourish: Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle grated Parmesan and fresh parsley across the surface, serving hot with a side of marinara sauce for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Prevent Cheese Leakage: Pinch dough edges tightly and ensure no openings exist to stop mozzarella from escaping during baking.
- Maintain Dough Texture: Use room temperature biscuit dough and handle gently to keep the delicate texture soft and tender.
- Butter Coating Technique: Brush herbed butter mixture generously but evenly to create a consistent golden-brown exterior and enhance flavor profile.
- Serving Suggestion: Consume immediately after baking to experience maximum cheese stretch and optimal crispy biscuit texture.
