Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Dough & Topping
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/3 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley until well combined.
- Separate Biscuit Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit carefully to prepare individual dough portions.
- Flatten Dough: Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about a 4-inch circle, creating enough surface to hold the cheese filling.
- Add Cheese Filling: Spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit, making sure not to overfill.
- Seal Dough Balls: Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the cheese, pinching tightly to seal and form a ball-shaped dough pocket.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each sealed dough ball seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the surface of each dough ball with the melted butter to encourage browning and add rich flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough balls are golden brown on the outside and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
- Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the cheesy garlic bombs cool for a few minutes to allow the filling to settle and prevent burns when eating.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
Notes
- You can substitute the biscuit dough with homemade pizza dough for a fresher taste.
- To enhance the garlic flavor, you may brush the dough balls with garlic-infused melted butter.
- For a crispy crust, sprinkle some extra Parmesan on top before baking.
- Serve with marinara or ranch dipping sauce for added flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best results.
