Recipe: Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs

Ingredients:

• 1 (16oz) container of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
• 4 ounces mozzarella cheese (soft, shredded, or diced string cheese)
• 4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Biscuits: Open the container of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circle, making enough room to hold the cheesy filling.
3. Add the Cheese: Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit dough circle. Whether you choose shredded mozzarella or diced string cheese, the gooey center will be perfect either way.
4. Fold and Seal: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the cheese, pinching the dough at the top to seal it. Shape the dough into a ball, ensuring that the cheese stays completely covered.
5. Season and Bake: Place the cheese-filled biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Generously brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with this seasoned butter mixture for that signature garlic butter flavor.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
7. Serve: Serve the garlic butter cheese bombs warm, straight from the oven. They’re delicious on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or ranch dressing.
