Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands! refrigerated biscuits (8 count)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Butter and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by heating the oven to 375F (190C) and preparing a muffin tin with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Craft a zesty garlic infusion by whisking melted butter with finely minced garlic, aromatic Italian herbs, a pinch of salt, and a dash of ground pepper.
- Carefully unroll the Pillsbury Grands! biscuit dough, gently extending each round with fingertips to create a slightly flattened surface.
- Position a generous dollop of mozzarella cheese at the center of each biscuit round, then meticulously fold and pinch the edges, transforming the dough into compact spheres that completely encase the cheese.
- Lavishly immerse each cheese-stuffed dough ball into the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring a thorough and even coating.
- Arrange the butter-glazed biscuit bombs strategically within the muffin tin, maintaining uniform spacing to promote even baking.
- Slide the tin into the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown exterior and visibly melted cheese.
- Extract from the oven and allow a brief resting period to cool slightly, then optionally sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while warm, revealing the molten cheese center and releasing the intoxicating garlic butter aroma.
Notes
- Always use fresh garlic for the most robust and vibrant flavor in your garlic butter mixture.
- Ensure biscuit edges are completely sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute Pillsbury biscuits with gluten-free biscuit dough or make your own from scratch.
