Baked Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine, and set the mixture aside.

3. Prepare the Biscuits:
Pop open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Use your hands or a rolling pin to gently flatten each biscuit into a small circle. Be careful not to tear the dough.

4. Fill with Cheese:
Place a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. You can use more cheese if you want them extra cheesy, but be careful not to overfill them, or they may burst while baking.

5. Form the Cheese Bombs:
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese to form a ball. Pinch the edges together tightly to seal the cheese inside. You should now have a perfectly sealed cheese-filled dough ball.

6. Coat in Garlic Butter:
Dip each cheese bomb into the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring that the entire surface is coated. Place each garlic butter-coated cheese bomb on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

7. Bake the Cheese Bombs:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and the biscuit dough is fully cooked. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t over-brown.

8. Add Finishing Touches:
Once baked, remove the cheese bombs from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

9. Serve and Enjoy:
Allow the cheese bombs to cool for a minute or two before serving. These are best enjoyed warm, with gooey melted cheese inside and a savory garlic butter coating.

Tips for the Best Baked Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs:

• Use Fresh Garlic: While garlic powder can work in a pinch, fresh garlic will give you the best flavor. It infuses the butter and creates that irresistible garlic aroma.
• Try Different Cheeses: While mozzarella is classic, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar, gouda, or even cream cheese can give your cheese bombs a unique twist.
• Add Extra Flavor: If you like a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture for a subtle kick.
• Make Ahead: You can assemble these cheese bombs ahead of time and refrigerate them. When you’re ready to bake, just brush them with the garlic butter and pop them into the oven. This makes them perfect for parties or gatherings.
• Serve with Dipping Sauce: These cheese bombs are delicious on their own, but they can be even better with a side of marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli for dipping.
