Introduction:
Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are a delicious, savory treat that combines fluffy biscuit dough with the rich, stretchy goodness of mozzarella cheese. These bite-sized morsels are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even a fun addition to a party spread.
They are easy to make and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients:
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit dough round slightly using your hands or a rolling pin.
Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella (about 1 tablespoon) in the center of each biscuit.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the cheese to form a ball, pinching the seams together to seal.
Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the biscuit bombs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Once out of the oven, garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve hot, with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Description:
These Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are packed with flavor and the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
The combination of melty mozzarella cheese with the buttery, herb-infused biscuit crust is sure to impress anyone who tries them.
With minimal prep time and simple ingredients, this recipe is an excellent go-to for both beginners and seasoned cooks alike.
Tips:
Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed in the dough to prevent it from leaking out while baking.
You can use a different type of cheese, like cheddar or a cheese blend, for a variation in flavor.
If you don’t have garlic powder, fresh minced garlic can be used in the butter mixture.
For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan over the biscuit bombs before baking.
Serve immediately for the best gooey experience, as the cheese will begin to firm up as it cools.
Variations:
Spinach & Cheese: Add a tablespoon of sautéed spinach to the mozzarella for a twist on the classic.
Pepperoni & Cheese: Place a slice of pepperoni with the mozzarella inside the biscuit for a pizza-inspired version.
Bacon & Cheese: Add crispy bacon bits to the filling for a savory, smoky flavor.
Corrections:
Be sure to bake the biscuit bombs long enough to ensure the biscuit dough is fully cooked. Undercooked dough will be dense and chewy, not light and fluffy.
If the cheese starts to leak out, consider slightly reducing the amount of cheese used or sealing the dough more securely.
Enjoy:
Serve these Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs while they’re hot for the ultimate melty experience.
Enjoy them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, or on their own as a comforting treat!
