Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 ounces / 462 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 8 small cubes mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Garnish and Dipping:
- Fresh parsley
- Marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or light grease.
- Gently flatten each biscuit dough using your palms, creating a wider, thinner circular shape.
- Position a single mozzarella cube precisely in the center of each flattened biscuit dough.
- Carefully fold the dough edges over the cheese, pressing and crimping to create a complete seal without gaps.
- Create a flavor-infused butter mixture by combining melted butter with finely minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped basil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Generously coat each sealed cheese-stuffed biscuit by dipping and rolling in the aromatic garlic butter mixture.
- Arrange the butter-coated biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese across the top for added flavor and texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits transform into a beautiful golden brown color.
- Allow the baked bites to cool for a few minutes, optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately alongside warm marinara sauce.
Notes
- Perfectly seal the edges to prevent cheese from leaking during baking, ensuring each bite remains gooey and intact.
- Try different cheese varieties like cheddar, pepper jack, or blue cheese for unique flavor profiles that match personal preferences.
- Use gluten-free biscuit dough and dairy-free cheese alternatives to make this recipe suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
- Enhance the flavor by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the garlic butter mixture for an extra aromatic twist.
