Ingredients

Scale

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2–3 cloves garlic, finely minced (about 2 teaspoons)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Open biscuit can and separate dough rounds. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
Place 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Brush edges with garlic butter, then fold dough up and around cheese, pinching seams tightly.
Roll each bomb gently between palms to create a smooth ball.
Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining garlic butter.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley.
Cool for 2-3 minutes before serving with marinara or ranch sauce.

Notes

For extra cheesy bombs, add an extra tablespoon of mozzarella to each bomb
Make sure to seal edges well to prevent cheese leakage
Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking
These freeze well unbaked for up to 3 months – bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to cook time
