To make the best cheesy garlic butter bombs, sealing the biscuits is key. After placing cheese inside, gather the edges. Pinch them tightly to close. This step keeps the cheese from leaking during baking. If the biscuits are not sealed well, you might end up with a cheesy mess in your baking dish. Using fresh ingredients also boosts the flavor. Fresh garlic packs a punch that dried garlic cannot match. Choose high-quality mozzarella for that gooey, stretchy texture. Fresh herbs give a bright taste that dried herbs lack. If you can, use herbs from your garden or a local market. These cheesy garlic butter bombs pair well with dips. Marinara sauce is a classic choice. Its tangy flavor matches the richness of the bombs. You can also try ranch dressing or a creamy garlic dip. If you want a complete meal, serve them with a fresh salad or pasta. The crispy bombs add a fun twist to any dinner. Storing leftovers is simple. Place them in an airtight container. They stay fresh in the fridge for about three days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure they cool down first. For reheating, the oven works best. Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and place the bombs on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10-15 minutes. This method keeps them crispy and delicious. You can also use a microwave, but they may turn soft. Enjoy your cheesy garlic butter bombs anytime! {{image_2}} You can mix things up with cheese. Try adding cheddar or gouda. Each cheese gives a fun twist. You can even use a blend of cheeses for more depth. Herbs and spices can change the taste, too. Basil, thyme, and rosemary work great. You can add garlic powder, too, for extra flavor. A little cumin can also add a nice touch. If you need gluten-free options, use gluten-free biscuit dough. Many brands offer great choices. Just check the label to make sure. For vegan substitutes, use dairy-free butter and cheese. Look for plant-based mozzarella. This keeps it cheesy without the dairy. You can still enjoy all the flavors! You can turn these into an appetizer. Just pull apart each bomb for a cheesy experience. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping. It’s fun and tasty!

1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, or thyme)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

    In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian herbs, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

      Open the biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands and place a tablespoon of mozzarella cheese in the center.

        Gather the edges of the biscuit to enclose the cheese completely and pinch to seal. Make sure there are no openings for the cheese to escape.

          Once all biscuits are filled, place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

            Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the biscuit bombs, ensuring they are well coated.

              Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy. If desired, you can broil them for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispy tops.

                Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

                  Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy goodness with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
