Ingredients
  

  • - 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 8-count, cut into halves
  • - 12 small mozzarella cubes
  • - 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • - 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • The first step to making cheesy garlic bombs is gathering all of your ingredients. Ensuring you have everything ready before you start helps the process run smoothly.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to allow it to reach the ideal baking temperature.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to avoid sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • Get all your ingredients together: dough (crescent rolls or biscuit dough), mozzarella cheese, garlic, butter, and parsley.

Step 2: Cut the Cheese

  • The star of these cheesy garlic bombs is the cheese! So, let’s get it prepped.
  • Take a block of mozzarella cheese and cut it into small cubes. You’ll want these cubes to be around 1 inch in size, just enough to create that gooey center in each bomb.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, for extra flavor and richness.

Step 3: Shape the Dough

  • If using refrigerated dough (like crescent rolls), you may want to gently flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin to create an even surface.
  • Cut the dough into squares or circles, each about 2-3 inches wide, large enough to wrap around the cheese cube.

Step 4: Assemble the Bombs

  • Now comes the fun part: wrapping the cheese inside the dough to form the bombs.
  • Place one cube of cheese in the center of each dough piece.
  • Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, sealing it tightly to prevent any cheese from leaking out as it melts during baking.
  • Gently roll each sealed dough ball in your hands to smooth it out and make sure it holds its shape.

Step 5: Brush the Bombs with Garlic Butter

  • Now that your garlic butter is ready, it’s time to give your bombs a flavorful coating.
  • Use a pastry brush or spoon to generously coat each dough ball with the garlic butter mixture. Make sure each one is thoroughly covered so they bake up full of flavor.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

  • Pop those cheesy garlic bombs into the oven to bake until golden and delicious.
  • Bake the bombs for 12-15 minutes or until they have risen and turned a beautiful golden brown.
  • The cheese should be melted but not oozing out too much.

Step 7: Let Them Cool and Serve

  • Once the cheesy garlic bombs are baked to perfection, let them rest for a few minutes to avoid burning your mouth on the hot cheese.
  • Serve them warm with a side of marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a creamy garlic dipping sauce for added flavor.

Step 8: Storing Leftovers

  • These cheesy garlic bombs are best when fresh, but if you happen to have leftovers, you can store them for later.
  • To reheat, pop them in the oven for a few minutes, or use an air fryer to bring back that crispy, golden texture.
