Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces / 454 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)
- 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (about 1-inch each)
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish and Serving:
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and arranging a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Carefully separate each biscuit dough portion and gently transform into a delicate 3-inch circular canvas.
- Position a single mozzarella cube precisely at the epicenter of each dough circle.
- Expertly envelop the cheese, meticulously sealing the dough edges with firm, precise pinches to prevent any potential leakage.
- Strategically place each sealed packet onto the prepared baking sheet with the sealed side facing downward.
- Craft a luxurious flavor enhancement by whisking together melted butter, aromatic garlic powder, robust Italian seasoning, nuanced salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a compact mixing vessel.
- Generously lavish the herbed butter mixture across the surface of each biscuit bomb, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven, allowing the bombs to transform into golden-brown treasures over 12-15 minutes.
- Upon emergence, crown the biscuit bombs with a delicate snowfall of grated Parmesan and vibrant fresh parsley.
- Present immediately while warm, accompanied by a ramekin of rich marinara sauce for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Use refrigerated biscuit dough at cool temperature for easier handling and better sealing around the cheese.
- Ensure mozzarella cubes are cold and not room temperature to prevent cheese from melting through the dough before baking.
- Pinch edges firmly and roll gently to create a seamless seal preventing cheese leakage during baking.
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or prepared gluten-free dough.
