Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. If they are large, cut each biscuit in half. Flatten each piece into a small circle using your fingers.
Step 3: Add the Mozzarella
Place one cube of mozzarella in the center of each flattened dough piece.
Carefully pull the dough up and around the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal completely. Roll gently into a smooth ball.
💡 Important: Make sure there are no gaps—this prevents cheese from leaking out while baking.
Step 4: Arrange for Baking
Place each sealed biscuit bomb seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each one.
Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine:
-
Melted butter
-
Minced garlic
-
Italian seasoning
-
Salt and pepper
Stir well until fully mixed.
Step 6: Brush and Bake
Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked through.
Step 7: Final Touch
Remove from the oven and immediately brush with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience.
