Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Filling and Topping Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375F (190C) and readying a baking dish with a light grease coating or parchment paper lining.
- Carefully unfold each biscuit from the package and gently press into thin, uniform circular shapes using fingertips.
- Position a generous dollop of mozzarella at the center of each flattened dough circle, then carefully gather and pinch the edges together, creating a seamless sealed ball.
- Craft a fragrant garlic butter infusion by whisking together warm melted butter, finely chopped garlic, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, and freshly chopped parsley in a compact mixing bowl.
- Arrange the cheese-encased dough spheres within the prepared baking vessel, then generously brush each with the aromatic garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown exterior and ensuring the internal cheese becomes luxuriously molten.
- Remove from oven and allow a brief cooling period to prevent immediate burning, then serve while warm for maximum flavor and gooey texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the cheese selection by experimenting with cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda for unique flavor profiles.
- Ensure biscuit edges are completely sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and more even coating of the garlic butter sauce.
- Transform these bombs into gluten-free version by selecting gluten-free biscuit dough or making homemade dough with alternative flour.
