# Ingredients:
01 -
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers biscuits, 8 biscuits
02 -
8 mozzarella cheese cubes, about 3/4-inch size
03 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
04 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
05 -
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or dried parsley
06 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
07 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
08 -
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
09 -
Marinara sauce or ranch dressing, optional for dipping
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Open the can of Pillsbury Grands! biscuits and separate them into 8 individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half to make 16 pieces. Cut the mozzarella cheese into 3/4-inch cubes to yield 16 pieces.
02 -
Take each biscuit half and gently flatten it with your fingers to form a small circle, about 3 inches in diameter. Place one cube of cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit piece. Fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the cheese cube, pinching the seams tightly to seal the cheese inside. Roll gently to form a smooth ball. Arrange the sealed biscuit balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning or parsley, salt, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the tops and sides of each biscuit ball with the garlic butter mixture. Reserve a little bit of the garlic butter for later.
04 -
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the cheese bombs with the remaining garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
05 -
Allow the cheese bombs to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
