Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 4 ounces (113 grams) mozzarella cheese, cut into 20 cubes
Cheese and Dairy:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) butter
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet and set the oven to 375F (190C) for optimal heating.
- Gently press each biscuit dough into a thin, flat circular shape using your fingertips.
- Position a single mozzarella cheese cube precisely in the center of each flattened dough circle.
- Carefully fold the dough edges over the cheese, creating a complete seal with no openings.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, watching carefully to prevent scorching.
- Introduce minced garlic to the melted butter, allowing it to simmer and release its aromatic essence for approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the butter mixture from heat and incorporate freshly chopped parsley, stirring thoroughly.
- Liberally coat each cheese-filled dough packet with the fragrant garlic butter mixture.
- Lightly sprinkle kosher or sea salt across the surface of each prepared bomb.
- Arrange the prepared bombs on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they transform into a golden, crispy exterior.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to prevent molten cheese burns.
- Serve immediately while warm for maximum flavor and gooey cheese experience.
Notes
- Seal cheese completely inside the dough to prevent leakage during baking, creating perfect molten cheese centers.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor combinations that match personal preferences.
- Use room temperature butter and garlic for smoother, more evenly distributed coating on the cheese bombs.
- Transform this recipe into a gluten-free version by substituting biscuit dough with gluten-free alternatives or using almond flour-based dough.
