Here’s a fun and delicious recipe for Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs—soft, buttery biscuit dough stuffed with melted mozzarella cheese and baked until golden and gooey. They make an irresistible snack, appetizer, or side dish!
Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (Pillsbury or similar)
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese (cut into 12 small cubes)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin (about 3-4 inches in diameter).
3. Stuff the Biscuits:
- Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough around the cheese and pinch them together to seal. Be sure the cheese is fully enclosed to prevent it from leaking out during baking.
- Roll the stuffed biscuit into a ball shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Season the Biscuit Bombs:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Brush the butter mixture over the top of each biscuit bomb. This will give them a golden, flavorful finish.
- Optionally, sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
5. Bake the Biscuit Bombs:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.
6. Serve:
- Let the Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs cool for a few minutes before serving, as the cheese inside will be very hot.
- Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Tips:
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or provolone, for a different flavor.
- You can add herbs, like fresh basil or oregano, to the inside of the biscuit bombs for extra flavor.
- For a bit of extra crunch, sprinkle some Italian breadcrumbs over the top before baking.
Enjoy:
