Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits 16.3 oz, 8 count
  • 4 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese cut into 8 cubes
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch pie plate or cast-iron skillet
  • 1 Small Bowl
  • 1 Pastry Brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or a small cast-iron skillet.
  2. Separate the 8 biscuits. Gently flatten each one to a 3-4 inch circle. Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit.
  3. Wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal completely. Place the bombs seam-side down in the prepared dish.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.
  5. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the dough balls. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven, brush with any remaining butter, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: Ensure the seams are sealed very well to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
Tip 2: For an extra rich topping, you can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the garlic butter mixture.
Tip 3: Serve with a side of warm marinara sauce for the perfect dipping experience.
