Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Biscuits: Go for refrigerated biscuit dough for quick prep—no one has time for from-scratch dough here!
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Opt for mozzarella because it melts beautifully and provides that gooey texture we all love.
Garlic Powder: Essential for that aromatic kick—fresh garlic works too if you’re feeling adventurous!
Butter: Use unsalted butter so you can control the saltiness while adding richness.
Fresh Parsley: Adds a pop of color and freshness—plus, it makes you feel fancy!
Italian Seasoning: This blend enhances flavor without overwhelming the garlic and cheese.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures those Cheesy Garlic Butter Bombs get perfectly golden on the outside.

Prep Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup later on. We all appreciate minimal kitchen chaos!

Mix Your Buttery Goodness: In a small bowl, melt about half a cup of butter. Stir in minced garlic (if using fresh) or sprinkle in some garlic powder along with Italian seasoning. The smell will make you want to dance!

Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open your biscuit dough and separate it into individual pieces. Flatten each piece slightly in your palm before adding a generous amount of mozzarella cheese right in the center.

Create Your Bombs: Gather the edges of the biscuit around the cheese filling and pinch them closed securely. Roll them gently into balls—it’s okay if they look slightly lumpy; we’re going for rustic charm!

Bake Away!: Place those beauties on your prepared baking sheet and brush each bomb with your melted garlicky butter mixture. Bake them in your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until they turn golden brown.

Now you have Cheesy Garlic Butter Bombs ready to be devoured!

These little delights are bound to be a hit at any gathering or simply as an indulgent snack while binge-watching your favorite series. Enjoy every gooey bite!
