I never thought I’d find my aunties’ old recipe, but I did, and it’s even better than I remember!

Sometimes after a long day at work, you just need a comforting, cheesy treat that’s super easy to make. That’s where these baked Pillsbury biscuit garlic butter cheese bombs come in! These delicious little pockets of joy combine the fluffy goodness of Pillsbury biscuits with gooey cheese and a garlicky butter kick. Perfect for a weeknight snack or party appetizer, they'll have everyone reaching for seconds. I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe when I was looking for something quick and crowd-pleasing for a get-together with friends, and it’s been a hit ever since!

These cheese bombs are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven. They pair beautifully with a simple side salad or a hearty bowl of tomato soup. If you're serving them as an appetizer for a party, consider pairing them with a variety of dips like marinara sauce, ranch, or even a spicy sriracha mayo to add a fun twist. They're also a fantastic addition to an Italian-themed dinner night, serving alongside pasta or a charcuterie board.

Servings: 8

1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Original Biscuits
8 cubes of mozzarella cheese (1-inch cubes)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: marinara sauce for dipping

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Open the can of biscuits and separate them into 8 individual biscuits.

Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands, then place a mozzarella cube in the center of each one.

Fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the cheese cube and pinch the seams to seal. Make sure the cheese is fully enclosed.

Place each cheese-filled dough ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Brush each cheese bomb with the garlic butter mixture, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with optional marinara sauce for dipping.

If you want to switch things up, try using different types of cheese like cheddar or pepper jack for a bit of a kick. You can also add a small slice of pepperoni or cooked bacon inside with the cheese for a meaty surprise. For a sweeter version, replace the garlic butter with cinnamon sugar butter and the cheese with a chocolate square or a piece of marshmallow. Just be sure to adjust the baking time slightly if you opt for these variations.
