Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury biscuits
- 8 sticks mozzarella cheese, halved
Cheese and Butter Coating:
- 4 tablespoons (59 ml) melted butter
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (1 g) dried Italian herbs
Serving Sauce:
- Marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- Gently flatten each biscuit into a thin, uniform circular shape using fingertips or a rolling pin, creating a smooth surface.
- Position a half mozzarella stick precisely in the center of each biscuit round, leaving adequate margin around the edges.
- Carefully fold the dough edges over the cheese, meticulously sealing the entire circumference to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
- Arrange the sealed cheese bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow proper heat circulation.
- Create a savory butter coating by whisking melted butter with fragrant garlic powder and aromatic Italian herbs until thoroughly combined.
- Generously brush the herbed butter mixture across the surface of each biscuit bomb, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and puffy texture.
- Remove from oven and let cool momentarily before serving alongside warm marinara sauce for an irresistible dipping experience.
Notes
- Cheese Selection Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- Dough Handling Ensure biscuit dough is cold and firm for easier manipulation and tighter sealing.
- Moisture Prevention Pinch dough edges thoroughly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Dietary Adaptations Use gluten-free biscuit dough or plant-based cheese for alternative diet options.
