Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
Ingredients:
1 can Pillsbury biscuits
8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Biscuits:
Open the Pillsbury biscuit can and separate each biscuit.
Lightly press each biscuit flat using your hands.
Fill with Cheese:
Place a mozzarella cube in the center of each biscuit round.
Fold the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges tightly to seal completely.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down onto the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Garlic Butter Topping:
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Italian seasoning.
Generously brush this garlic butter mixture over the tops of the biscuits.
Bake Until Golden:
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Optional Finishing Touch:
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor, if desired.
Serve & Enjoy:
Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness! Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
Notes:
Seal the Biscuits Well – Make sure to pinch the edges tightly so the cheese doesn’t leak out while baking.
Use Fresh Garlic – Freshly minced garlic gives the best flavor compared to pre-minced or garlic powder.
Cheese Variations – While mozzarella is classic, you can experiment with cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda for different flavors.
Serving Suggestion – These taste amazing with marinara sauce or ranch for dipping.
Storage & Reheating – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to keep them crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of mozzarella?
Yes! While mozzarella gives that classic gooey pull, you can substitute it with cheddar, provolone, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for a little spice.
How do I keep the cheese from leaking out while baking?
Make sure to pinch and seal the biscuit dough tightly around the cheese.
Placing the seam side down on the baking sheet also helps prevent leaks.
Can I prepare these in advance?
Yes! You can assemble the cheese bombs ahead of time and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking.
If baking from chilled, you may need to add an extra minute or two to the bake time.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Absolutely! Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Check at the 8-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
What dipping sauces pair well with these?
These are delicious on their own, but they also pair well with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, garlic butter, or a spicy sriracha mayo for an extra kick!
How do I prevent the biscuits from becoming too doughy in the center?
Make sure to flatten each biscuit slightly before adding the cheese.
Also, avoid overcrowding them on the baking sheet so they bake evenly.
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned biscuits?
Yes! If you prefer, you can use homemade biscuit dough or even pizza dough.
Just ensure the dough is rolled out evenly to wrap around the cheese.
How do I make the garlic butter more flavorful?
For extra flavor, let the melted butter sit with the minced garlic for a few minutes before brushing it onto the biscuits.
You can also add a pinch of salt or a little grated Parmesan to the butter mixture.
How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes or in an air fryer for a crispier texture.
Can I freeze these before or after baking?
Yes! You can freeze unbaked cheese bombs and bake them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
If freezing after baking, let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container, then reheat in the oven when ready to serve.
