This is one of those recipes that feels indulgent but is surprisingly easy to make. Simple ingredients, minimal prep, and maximum payoff.
Yield and Timing
This recipe makes 12 cheese bombs.
Prep time is 15 minutes, with 15–18 minutes of baking time.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (12 biscuits)
- 12 cubes mozzarella cheese (or cheddar)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece slightly with your fingers. Place one cube of cheese in the center of each dough round. Wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching tightly to seal, and roll gently into a ball.
Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Brush the tops of the dough balls generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each one.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Baked Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs warm while the cheese is still melty. They’re perfect with marinara sauce for dipping and pair beautifully with pasta dishes, soups, salads, or holiday meals.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crispy outside and gooey center. Microwaving works, but the texture will be softer.
