- 16 small mozzarella cubes about ¾ inch each

Garlic Butter Topping
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional:
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan sprinkle on top before baking
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes for a spicy version
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
- Heat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the biscuits
- Open the biscuit can.
- If using Grands biscuits, cut each biscuit in half to make 16 pieces.
- If using regular biscuits, keep each piece as is.
3. Add the cheese filling
- Flatten each biscuit piece with your fingers.
- Place 1 mozzarella cube (or 1 tablespoon shredded cheese) in the center.
- Pull the dough around the cheese.
- Pinch the edges tightly so the cheese doesn’t leak while baking.
- Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
4. Mix the garlic butter
- In a small bowl, mix:
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- ¼ tsp salt
- Stir to combine.
5. Brush the cheese bombs
- Place all dough balls on your baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Leave a little space between each one.
- Brush the tops with half of the garlic butter mix.
6. Bake
- Bake for 13 16 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Check at 12 minutes so they don’t over-brown.
7. Add more garlic butter
- Once they’re out of the oven, brush the tops with the rest of the garlic butter.
- Add parmesan or red pepper flakes if you want extra flavor.
8. Serve
- Serve warm so the cheese stays melty.
- These pair well with marinara sauce, ranch, or tomato soup.
