Ingredients You’ll Need
(Makes 8 biscuit bombs | Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 12-15 mins)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (or string cheese cut into chunks)
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)
How to Make Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs
1. Preheat the Oven
I start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Flatten and Fill the Biscuits
I slightly flatten each biscuit round, then place a mozzarella cube in the center. I like using fresh mozzarella or string cheese chunks because they melt beautifully.
3. Seal and Shape
Next, I fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to ensure they don’t open while baking. Then, I roll them into smooth balls for an even, golden finish.
4. Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, I whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. This mixture is key to giving these biscuit bombs that rich, buttery, garlicky flavor.
5. Brush and Bake
I place the sealed biscuit bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet, then generously brush each one with the garlic butter mixture. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top adds a delicious savory kick. Into the oven they go for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and perfectly puffed.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Once they’re out of the oven, I like to garnish them with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Then, I serve them warm with marinara sauce for dipping—because what’s better than a cheesy, garlicky bite with a side of tangy tomato goodness?
My Best Tips for Perfect Biscuit Bombs
- Use fresh mozzarella – It gives the best melty, stretchy cheese pull.
- Pinch the seams tightly – This prevents the cheese from leaking out while baking.
- Brush with extra garlic butter after baking – For even more flavor, I like to brush another light coat of garlic butter on top right after they come out of the oven.
- Serve immediately – These are best eaten fresh while the cheese is still gooey and warm.
What to Serve with Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs
These little cheese-stuffed bites are incredibly versatile. Here are a few of my favorite ways to serve them:
- With marinara sauce – A classic pairing for dipping.
- Alongside soup – They make a great side for tomato soup or minestrone.
- As a pasta side – Serve them with spaghetti, fettuccine Alfredo, or lasagna.
- With a salad – A crisp Caesar or garden salad balances out the richness.
FAQs (Because I Know You’ll Ask!)
Q: Can I use a different type of cheese?
A: Yes! While mozzarella gives the best cheese pull, you can experiment with cheddar, Gouda, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick.
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! Assemble them, place them on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before baking.
Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: If you somehow have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain their crispiness.
Q: Can I air-fry these?
A: Yes! Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 minutes, checking to ensure they don’t burn.
