Mozzarella biscuit bombs deliver irresistible cheesy comfort straight from Southern kitchens. Warm, golden parcels oozing with melted cheese promise a delightful culinary experience you cannot resist.
Ingredients
Scale
Cheese:
- 16 cubes mozzarella cheese (1 inch each)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Dough and Seasoning:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Liquid and Garnish:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick baking.
- Gently separate each biscuit from the package and delicately flatten into thin, uniform discs using light pressure.
- Position a single mozzarella cube precisely in the center of each biscuit disc, ensuring even placement.
- Carefully encase the cheese cube by folding the dough edges inward, meticulously sealing to prevent cheese leakage, then roll into smooth, compact spheres.
- Create a fragrant garlic butter mixture by whisking melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning until thoroughly combined.
- Using a culinary brush, generously coat each dough ball with the aromatic garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Liberally sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the butter-coated bites, creating a savory, crispy exterior.
- Transfer the prepared bites to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown transformation.
- Allow bites to rest briefly after removing from oven, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve while warm for maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize cheese selection by using different melting cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for varied flavor profiles.
- Prevent cheese leakage by ensuring dough completely seals around cheese cube with no exposed edges.
- Make gluten-free by substituting regular biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or almond flour-based dough.
- Reduce sodium by using low-fat cheese, unsalted butter, and reduced-sodium seasonings for health-conscious variations.
