How to Make Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Roll each biscuit into a small ball with your hands.
- Press a small piece of shredded mozzarella cheese into the center of each biscuit ball. Pinch the dough around the cheese to seal it inside, forming a ball again.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Dip each cheese-filled biscuit ball into the garlic butter mixture, making sure it’s fully coated. Place the buttered balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the cheese bombs from the oven and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips to Make Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
