Essential Ingredients List

- Mozzarella Cheese: 16 cubes (1-inch each), room temperature for optimal melting, fresh whole-milk mozzarella preferred
- Melted Butter: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, temperature around 110°F/43°C
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon fine garlic powder, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture
- Italian Seasoning: 1 teaspoon dried blend, crushed slightly to release oils and enhance flavor
- Parmesan Cheese: 2 tablespoons freshly grated, fine texture for best adhesion to the bombs
- Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons finely chopped, bright green and crisp for garnish
Making Perfect Cheese Bombs
- Prepare Your Workspace
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready for efficient assembly.
- Shape the Dough Base
- Work with one biscuit at a time, keeping others refrigerated. Flatten each to 1/4-inch thickness (approximately 4-inch diameter), using gentle pressure to avoid overworking.
- Create Cheese-Filled Centers
- Place one mozzarella cube in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold edges up and over, pinching firmly to seal completely. Roll gently between palms until smooth.
- Season with Herb Butter
- Mix melted butter (110°F/43°C) with garlic powder and Italian seasoning until well combined. Brush each bomb generously, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake to Golden Perfection
- Arrange bombs 2 inches apart on prepared sheet. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake 12-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Rest and Serve
- Let rest 3-5 minutes before serving. Check internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with desired dipping sauce.
Customize Your Cheese Bombs
Serve Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs warm to enjoy the gooey cheese center at its best. Pair them with marinara sauce for a classic combination or ranch for a creamy twist. Customize by adding chopped pepperoni inside or sprinkling chili flakes for a spicy kick.
