Description
Mozzarella biscuit bombs offer a cheesy twist on classic Southern comfort fare. Melted cheese oozes from buttery, flaky dough, creating an irresistible appetizer you’ll crave at every gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8-count) Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
- 4 sticks mozzarella string cheese (cut into 8 equal parts)
- 1 tbsp finely minced garlic
- 2 tbsps finely chopped parsley
- 4 tbsps (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 400°F, creating an ideal baking atmosphere for the mozzarella biscuit bombs.
- Carefully separate each biscuit into halves, gently flattening each piece to a thin, uniform quarter-inch thickness using gentle hand pressure or a rolling pin.
- Create a flavor-enhancing blend by whisking together melted butter, finely minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt in a small mixing bowl.
- Position two mozzarella cheese pieces precisely in the center of each flattened dough section, meticulously folding the edges to encapsulate the cheese completely, forming seamless spherical parcels.
- Arrange the sealed dough balls on a light-colored baking sheet with the seam facing downward, ensuring optimal heat distribution and preventing potential cheese leakage.
- Lavishly coat each dough ball with the prepared garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush, creating a rich, aromatic exterior.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the biscuit bombs to transform into golden-brown delicacies over 8-10 minutes.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, apply a final generous brush of garlic butter, intensifying the flavor and creating a glistening surface.
- Serve promptly while piping hot, allowing guests to experience the luxurious, molten mozzarella center at its most decadent moment.
Notes
- Use cold mozzarella to prevent cheese from leaking during baking, keeping the delicious filling inside the biscuit.
- Gently seal the dough edges with fingertips to create a tight closure, preventing cheese from escaping while cooking.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor combinations and dietary preferences.
- Space biscuit bombs slightly apart on the baking sheet to allow even heat circulation and achieve perfect golden-brown coloring.
