Ingredients for Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, e.g., Pillsbury Grands)
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese (block or string cheese, cut into 8 equal cubes)
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)
Directions: How to Make Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Fill and Shape the Biscuit Bombs
Separate the biscuit dough into 8 rounds. Flatten each round with your hands until about 4 inches in diameter. Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each round, then pinch the edges together tightly to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Add Flavorful Toppings
Mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Brush each biscuit bomb generously with the butter mixture, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy crunch.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden & Gooey
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes for the Perfect Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs
- Make sure to seal the dough tightly around the cheese to prevent leaks while baking.
- Try swapping in your favorite cheese—cheddar or pepper jack work great!
