Ingredients You’ll Need for Buttery Garlic Cheese Bombs

1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
8 small cubes of mozzarella or cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
2 cloves garlic (minced; or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped, optional)

How to Make Buttery Garlic Cheese Bombs

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. The smell of these cheese bombs baking will make your home feel so inviting!
Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and gently separate the biscuits. Flatten each one slightly with your fingers to create a small disc—this will cradle the cheese beautifully!
Add the Cheese: Place one cube of cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges to seal it completely. Roll each filled biscuit into a smooth ball. These little surprises will soon transform into golden beauties!
Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the sealed cheese bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them so they can puff up while baking.
Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and parsley (if using). This is the magic touch that brings these cheese bombs to life!
Brush with Garlic Butter: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each cheese bomb. Don’t forget to reserve a little for brushing on after baking for that extra burst of flavor!
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed up. You want them to be crispy on the outside and ooey-gooey inside. The anticipation will be delightful!
Finish and Serve: Remove the cheese bombs from the oven and brush them with the remaining garlic butter. Serve warm and watch everyone’s eyes light up as they take their first bite of cheesy, buttery goodness!

Delicious Variations to Try

Spicy Kick: Add a little heat by placing a slice of jalapeño or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes inside each cheese bomb. Zesty and delicious!
Herbed Delight: Swap the parsley for fresh basil or rosemary to amplify the flavor profile. Each bite feels like a cozy garden party!
Meaty Indulgence: Add crumbled cooked turkey bacon for a savory crunch that perfectly complements the smooth cheese!
Savory Sweetness: Mix in a small spoonful of caramelized onions with the cheese for a sweet and savory twist. Irresistible!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
