Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16.3 oz / 462 g) Pillsbury Grands!™ Flaky Layers biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 8 small cubes of mozzarella cheese (or string cheese cut into pieces)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Setup: Position oven rack in center at 375F (190C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper for even heat distribution.
- Biscuit Preparation: Gently separate biscuits, delicately flatten each into a thin circular disk using fingertips to create a smooth, workable surface.
- Cheese Filling: Place a mozzarella cube at the center of each biscuit disk, meticulously folding and sealing dough edges to form compact, secure spheres that completely encase the cheese.
- Garlic Butter Infusion: Whisk melted butter with finely minced garlic and Italian seasoning until harmoniously blended, creating an aromatic flavor base.
- Coating Technique: Thoroughly brush each dough sphere with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete coverage, then sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese for added depth of flavor.
- Baking Process: Transfer prepared baking sheet to preheated oven, allowing bombs to transform into golden-brown delicacies with molten cheese centers during 10-12 minutes of baking.
- Final Touch: Immediately after removing from oven, apply an additional lavish brushing of remaining garlic butter and optional fresh parsley garnish to enhance visual and flavor profile.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm alongside marinara sauce, creating an irresistible appetizer that promises a delightful culinary experience.
Notes
- Seal Edges Carefully: Ensure complete sealing of biscuit dough around cheese to prevent leakage during baking, using pinching techniques to create a tight, seamless closure.
- Butter Brush Technique: Apply garlic butter generously but evenly, using light strokes to create a consistent golden-brown exterior without saturating the dough.
- Cheese Selection Flexibility: Swap mozzarella with cheddar or pepper jack for varied flavor profiles, maintaining similar cube sizes for consistent melting results.
- Temperature Precision: Watch biscuits closely during last 2-3 minutes of baking to prevent overcooking, as ovens can vary in heat distribution and intensity.
