Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 8 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 12-15 minutes)
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (or string cheese cut into chunks)
For the Garlic Butter Coating:
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

How to Make Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs
1. Preheat & Prepare
I start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Flatten & Fill the Biscuits
Next, I take each refrigerated biscuit and gently flatten it with my hands. Then, I place one cube of mozzarella in the center.
3. Seal & Shape the Bombs
I carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese and pinch them tightly to seal. Rolling them into smooth balls ensures they bake evenly without any cheese leaks.
4. Make the Garlic Butter Coating
In a small bowl, I mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. This garlic butter mix gives the biscuit bombs their rich, savory flavor.
5. Brush & Sprinkle With Parmesan
I brush each sealed biscuit bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture, making sure every bite is flavorful. Then, I sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy, golden crust.
6. Bake Until Golden & Gooey
I place the biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet and bake them for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7. Serve & Enjoy!
Once out of the oven, I garnish them with fresh parsley for a pop of color. These cheesy, buttery bites are best served warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Pro Tips for the Best Biscuit Bombs
- Make sure to seal them tightly – If the dough isn’t pinched together properly, the cheese may leak out while baking.
- Use fresh mozzarella – For an extra gooey center, use fresh mozzarella cubes instead of pre-shredded cheese.
- Experiment with fillings – Try stuffing them with pepperoni, cooked sausage, or even a little pesto for a flavor twist.
- Brush with more garlic butter after baking – For even more buttery flavor, give them one last brush when they come out of the oven.
What to Serve With These Biscuit Bombs
These Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are incredibly versatile! Here’s how I love to serve them:
- With marinara sauce – A classic pairing for dipping.
- Alongside soup – They go perfectly with tomato soup or creamy garlic parmesan soup.

- As a side dish – They make an excellent cheesy alternative to dinner rolls.
FAQs (From My Kitchen to Yours)
Q: Can I use crescent roll dough instead of biscuits?
A: Yes! Crescent roll dough works beautifully and gives a flakier texture.
Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to crisp them back up.
Q: Can I freeze them?
A: Yes! Assemble the biscuit bombs, freeze them unbaked, and then bake straight from the freezer. Just add 3-5 minutes to the baking time.
Q: What if I don’t have Italian seasoning?
A: No problem! You can use a mix of dried basil, oregano, and a pinch of thyme instead.
Q: Can I make these in an air fryer?
A: Absolutely! Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through for even cooking.
