Ingredients
Scale
Cheese:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 cubes
Dough:
- 1 can (16 ounces/454 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon/5 milliliters dried parsley)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Gently separate each biscuit dough, using fingertips to carefully flatten into delicate circular shapes, creating a smooth base for the cheese filling.
- Position a single mozzarella cheese cube precisely in the center of each dough circle, then meticulously fold and pinch the edges upward, creating a completely sealed spherical package that encases the cheese.
- Arrange the cheese-filled dough spheres onto the prepared baking sheet with the sealed side facing downward, maintaining uniform spacing to promote consistent browning.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven, allowing the cheese bombs to transform into golden-brown delicacies over 10-12 minutes, monitoring their color and texture.
- Simultaneously craft a luxurious garlic butter blend by combining melted butter with finely minced garlic and aromatic Italian seasoning in a compact mixing vessel.
- Upon removing the freshly baked cheese bombs, immediately lavish each sphere with the fragrant garlic butter, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor infusion.
- Embellish the glistening bombs with a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley, adding a vibrant green accent and fresh herbaceous note.
- Serve these molten cheese treasures while piping hot, accompanied by optional marinara sauce for an indulgent dipping experience that heightens the culinary delight.
Notes
- Opt for room temperature mozzarella cubes to ensure even melting and prevent cheese leakage during baking.
- Seal biscuit edges meticulously by pinching and rolling to prevent cheese from oozing out while cooking.
- Brush garlic butter immediately after baking to maximize flavor absorption and create a glossy, appetizing appearance.
- Consider gluten-free adaptation by using gluten-free biscuit dough and checking ingredient compatibility for those with dietary restrictions.
