Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated biscuit dough | 1 can (8-count) |
| Mozzarella cheese | 8 ounces, cut into 12 cubes |
| Unsalted butter | 1/4 cup, melted |
| Garlic | 3 cloves, minced |
| Dried Italian seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1/4 cup |
| Fresh parsley (optional) | Chopped |
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half, forming 16 pieces.
- Stuff the dough: Flatten each piece of dough and place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center. Fold the dough over the cheese, pinching the edges to seal and form a ball.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
- Coat the dough balls: Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the finishing touch: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the dough balls.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Enjoy these delightful cheese bombs and watch them disappear at your next gathering!
