Step-by-step instructions
Ready to make your garlic butter cheese bombs? Follow these steps for a foolproof guide:
Preheat your oven as per the biscuit dough package instructions, making sure you have the right temperature set for maximum fluffiness.
In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt until well combined. This aromatic blend is what will elevate your cheese bombs to the next level!
Take a biscuit from the dough container and flatten it gently using your hands or a rolling pin—aim for about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of the flattened dough. Don’t skimp—this is where the cheesy goodness comes from!
Carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges to seal it tightly. No one wants a cheesy explosion in the oven!
Dip each sealed cheese bomb into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring all sides are covered for that delicious flavor.
Arrange the cheese bombs on a baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions or until they are golden brown and puffed up—usually around 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy your creations!
How to serve Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
These cheese bombs are best served straight from the oven, when the cheese is still oozy and the dough is golden and flaky. For an elegant touch, place them on a platter and garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan. They pair excellently with marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh salad for a complete meal. You could even serve them alongside your favorite soup for a cozy night in!
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you happen to have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), storing them is easy. Let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. These cheese bombs can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, they freeze beautifully—just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe bag.
When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven for about 10-15 minutes at 350°F until warmed through. Avoid the microwave as it can make the dough soggy.
Helpful cooking tips
To ensure your cheese bombs turn out perfectly every time, here are some pro tips:
- Use a soft, melting cheese like mozzarella for the best gooeyness.
- Make sure to seal the dough tightly around the cheese to prevent leakage during baking.
- For a crispy exterior, consider brushing the top of each dough ball with a bit of olive oil before baking.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices or add-ins, like chopped jalapeños or cooked sausage, for a flavor boost.
Creative twists
Don’t be afraid to get creative with your cheese bombs! Here are some ideas to switch things up:
- Try different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a spicier kick.
- Incorporate herbs like fresh basil or chives for an added layer of flavor.
- For a festive touch, stuff the dough with gooey chocolate instead of cheese for a dessert version.
- Swap out the garlic powder for ranch seasoning for a ranch-flavored treat!
