Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients come together to make magic. Here’s what each one does:

• Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: This shortcut is what makes the recipe so quick. Soft, fluffy, and golden when baked.
• Mozzarella Cheese Cubes: These are the gooey, melty core of each biscuit bomb. Use low-moisture mozzarella for best meltability without sogginess.
• Melted Butter: The base for the flavor coating. Helps create that irresistible golden crust.
• Garlic Powder: Adds a warm, savory note that makes each bite pop.
• Italian Seasoning: Brings that classic herbaceous flair—think oregano, basil, thyme.
• Grated Parmesan Cheese: Adds a salty, nutty layer of flavor right on top. Don’t skip it.
• Fresh Parsley: For a fresh pop of color and flavor at the end.

Variations

Here’s where the fun begins. Feel free to experiment:

• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or stuff in a slice of jalapeño with the cheese.
• Stuffed Surprise: Add a slice of pepperoni, sun-dried tomato, or cooked sausage along with the mozzarella.
• Cheese Swap: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, provolone, or even pepper jack for something with bite.
• Garlic Bread Style: Brush with garlic butter after baking and serve with marinara for dipping.

How to Make Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each one slightly with your hands—just enough to wrap around the cheese cube.

Step 3: Stuff and Seal

Place a cube of mozzarella in the center of each dough round. Fold the edges up and pinch tightly to seal—no cheese leakage allowed! Roll into smooth balls.

Step 4: Coat in Flavor

In a bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Dip each dough ball into the butter mixture, coating evenly.

Step 5: Bake

Place the dipped biscuit bombs on the baking sheet, seam-side down. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the warm bombs and serve immediately while the cheese is still hot and gooey.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

• Seal Tight: Make sure the dough is fully sealed around the cheese to prevent melting spills in the oven.
• Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on them—once golden, they’re ready. Overbaking can cause the cheese to dry out.
• Use a Cookie Scoop: If you want even-sized bombs, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough.
• Serve Fresh: These are best served hot and fresh from the oven for maximum goo factor.

How to Serve

These biscuit bombs are incredibly versatile and can shine on any table:

Appetizer:

Perfect as a finger food for parties, game day spreads, or potlucks. Set them out with toothpicks and a bowl of marinara sauce.

Snack Time:

Serve as an afternoon snack with a side of warm tomato soup or a dipping sauce trio (marinara, ranch, pesto).

Side Dish:

Pair with a fresh Caesar or antipasto salad for a fun and cheesy side.

Fun Dinner Idea:

Make it a casual dinner by pairing with a bowl of pasta or soup for a comforting meal.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Place cooled biscuit bombs in an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing

Yes, you can freeze them! Once baked and cooled, freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll last up to 2 months.

Reheating

Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until warm and gooey again. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the crust crispy.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned?
Absolutely! If you have a favorite homemade biscuit or pizza dough, it’ll work beautifully. Just make sure the dough is soft enough to wrap and seal around the cheese.

What kind of mozzarella works best?
Low-moisture mozzarella blocks cut into cubes work best. Avoid fresh mozzarella—it tends to release too much water and can make the dough soggy.

Can I prepare them ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the bombs and refrigerate them (uncooked) for a few hours before baking. Just be sure to bake them right before serving for that melty center.

Why did my cheese leak out during baking?
Most likely the dough wasn’t sealed tightly enough. Make sure to pinch the edges well and place them seam-side down on the tray.
