Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 ounces / 462 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 8 small cubes of mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Herbs and Spices:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) salt
Garnish and Optional Serving:
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking surface by lining a sheet with parchment paper or applying a light grease coating.
- Gently flatten each individual biscuit dough piece, creating a wider surface area for cheese encapsulation.
- Position a compact mozzarella cube precisely at the center of each dough circle.
- Carefully envelop the cheese completely, meticulously pinching and sealing the dough edges to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
- Craft a luxurious aromatic coating by whisking together melted butter, finely chopped garlic, dried oregano, basil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Immerse each cheese-stuffed dough pocket into the herbed butter mixture, ensuring comprehensive and uniform coverage.
- Arrange the butter-coated biscuit bombs strategically on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each piece.
- Generously dust the surface with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, adding a rich, savory dimension.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake until the exterior transforms into a golden, crispy texture.
- After removing from the oven, allow a brief cooling period to prevent molten cheese burns.
- Optional: Garnish with delicate, chopped parsley for a vibrant visual and aromatic enhancement.
- Serve immediately alongside warm marinara sauce for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Seal dough completely to prevent cheese from leaking during baking, using gentle pinching and rolling techniques.
- For gluten-free option, substitute regular biscuit dough with gluten-free refrigerated biscuit dough or homemade alternative.
- Consider using low-moisture mozzarella to reduce potential cheese overflow and ensure cleaner baking results.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor variations that complement the garlic herb coating.
