These cheese bombs are a modern twist on classic garlic bread, with a cheesy center that takes it to a whole new level. The buttery, garlic-infused topping and sprinkle of Parmesan make each bite irresistible. And the best part? They’re incredibly easy to make with a can of Pillsbury Grands biscuits, making them a convenient choice for busy days.

A Bite of Culture: Garlic Bread’s Italian Roots

Garlic bread, the inspiration behind these cheese bombs, is a staple in Italian-American cuisine. Originally a humble accompaniment to pasta dishes, it has evolved into a beloved snack. The addition of cheese transforms this simple bread into an indulgent treat. In this version, Pillsbury biscuits provide a light and fluffy texture, contrasting beautifully with the rich, melty cheese center.

Ingredients:

• 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands biscuits
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• Optional: fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Biscuits: Open the Pillsbury biscuit can and separate the dough. Cut each biscuit in half and flatten each piece into a small circle.
3. Add the Cheese: Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges over the cheese, pinching to seal, forming a small ball.
4. Arrange and Bake: Place the sealed cheese bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puff up.
5. Make the Garlic Butter: While the bombs are baking, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
6. Coat the Bombs: Once the cheese bombs are out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and watch the gooey cheese stretch with every bite!

Tips and Pairings:

• Pro Tip: For an even richer flavor, swap out mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack cheese. You can also stuff the biscuits with a mixture of cheeses for a surprise in every bite.
• Pairing Suggestions: These cheese bombs are perfect alongside marinara sauce for dipping or served with a hearty bowl of soup. They also make a great side to pasta dishes or grilled meats.
• Vegetarian Option: This recipe is already vegetarian-friendly, but you can play around with adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.

These Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are everything you want in a snack – cheesy, buttery, garlicky goodness all wrapped up in a soft biscuit. I can't recommend them enough for parties, potlucks, or even a cozy night in with the family.
