Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8-count) package pillsbury grands buttermilk biscuits
- 4 sticks mozzarella string cheese
Cheese Preparation:
- 32 pieces mozzarella cheese (cut from 4 sticks, 8 pieces per stick)
Garlic Butter Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, creating an optimal baking environment for the mozzarella biscuit bombs.
- Carefully separate biscuits and divide each into two halves. Gently flatten each piece to a thin, uniform circular shape using fingertips or a rolling pin.
- Create a fragrant garlic butter mixture by combining melted butter, finely chopped garlic, fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Position two cheese pieces in the center of each flattened dough circle. Delicately fold the edges over the cheese, meticulously sealing the sides to form compact, enclosed spheres.
- Arrange the sealed dough balls on a baking sheet with the sealed side facing downward. Liberally brush each ball with the prepared garlic butter mixture.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the exterior turns a rich, golden-brown color.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, apply a final layer of garlic butter to enhance flavor and create a glossy finish. Serve piping hot to maximize the molten cheese experience.
Notes
- Cheese Sealing Technique Carefully pinch and seal the dough edges completely to prevent cheese from leaking during baking, creating a perfect cheesy pocket.
- Butter Brush Generously apply garlic butter before and after baking to enhance flavor and achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior with a glossy finish.
- Dough Handling Use gentle pressure when flattening biscuit dough to maintain its structural integrity and prevent tearing, ensuring a smooth surface for cheese wrapping.
- Dietary Adaptations Substitute regular biscuit dough with gluten-free alternatives and use plant-based cheese for a vegetarian or lactose-free version of this delicious appetizer.
