Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are delicious, cheesy, and easy-to-make bite-sized snacks. They’re perfect for parties, appetizers, or just a savory treat! Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury)
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes (or shredded if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or oregano)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin until they form a small circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
-
Fill the Biscuits:
- Place one cube (or 1 tablespoon) of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit around the cheese, pinching it closed to form a sealed ball. Be sure the cheese is fully enclosed.
-
Prepare the Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the biscuit bombs.
-
Bake the Biscuit Bombs:
- Place the filled biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced a little apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese inside is gooey and melted.
-
Serve:
- Once they’re done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. For an added touch, serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips:
- Cheese Variety: Feel free to use other types of cheese like cheddar, provolone, or a mix for more flavor.
- Extra Flavors: Add a bit of cooked sausage, pepperoni, or vegetables into the biscuit before sealing it up for a heartier bite.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the biscuit bombs in advance and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
These Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are cheesy, crispy, and perfect for satisfying those savory cravings! Enjoy!
