• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh parsley, chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Grated Parmesan cheese (for topping, optional)

Timing

Making Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs takes about 10 minutes for preparation and 15-20 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. Cut Biscuit Dough: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands.
2. Add Cheese: Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit.

Step 3: Form the Bombs

1. Wrap the Dough: Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit over the cheese, pinching to seal tightly. Roll into a ball shape and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Make Garlic Butter

1. Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
2. Add Garlic and Seasoning: Stir in the minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat once combined.

Step 5: Bake the Cheese Bombs

1. Brush with Garlic Butter: Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each cheese bomb.
2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 6: Serve

1. Top with Parmesan: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the cheese bombs immediately after removing them from the oven.
2. Enjoy: Serve warm with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
