I discovered these mozzarella biscuit bombs during a late-night craving when I wanted something cheesy but didn't have the patience for homemade dough. What started as a desperate kitchen experiment turned into pure magic - that moment when you pull them apart and the cheese stretches into perfect strings? Pure bliss.

Last weekend, my neighbor caught the smell drifting over the fence and literally came knocking. Now she makes them for every game day gathering. That's the power of melted cheese and garlic.

  • Buttermilk biscuits need to be fresh
  • String cheese melts perfectly
  • Real butter makes everything better

Detailed Instructions

Dough Prep
Start by separating those biscuits and gently flattening each one. Think of it like making tiny pizza dough circles, but way easier.
Cheese Loading
Place that perfect chunk of mozzarella right in the center. This is where the magic happens - don't skimp on the cheese.
Seal With Care
Pinch those edges together like you're keeping a delicious secret. A good seal means no cheese explosions in the oven.
Final Touch
Brush them with that garlicky butter mixture before and after baking. Double the flavor, double the love.

Perfect Pairings

These little bombs of joy love a side of marinara sauce for dipping. On movie nights, I'll serve them alongside a big salad to pretend we're being healthy. They're perfect with a cold beer or, for the kids, some fizzy lemonade. Sometimes I'll make a quick garlic butter dip, but honestly, they're incredible just as they are.

Make It Your Own

The basic recipe is just the beginning. Sometimes I'll stuff them with pepperoni and cheese for a pizza version. My spice-loving friends add jalapeños inside. During holidays, I'll mix herbs into the butter - rosemary and thyme are fantastic. You can even try different cheeses - cheddar, pepper jack, or a mix of your favorites.

Keep It Fresh

These beauties are best straight from the oven when the cheese is at peak stretchiness. If you need to make them ahead, prep everything but wait to bake until just before serving. Leftovers (if you ever have any) can be reheated in the oven for about 5 minutes - the microwave works too, but they won't be quite as crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why place seam side down?
This prevents cheese from leaking during baking and helps maintain shape.
→ Can I use different cheese?
String cheese works best as it melts well and is easy to portion, but other mozzarella can work.
→ Why use a light-colored baking sheet?
Dark baking sheets can cause the bottoms to overcook before the tops are done.
→ Can I make these ahead?
Best served fresh and warm for optimal cheese pull. Can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.
→ Why brush with butter twice?
First brush adds flavor while baking, second adds shine and extra flavor when serving.

Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: American

Yield: 15 Servings (15 biscuit bombs)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 1 (8-count) package Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
02 4 sticks mozzarella string cheese, each cut into 8 equal parts

→ Garlic Butter

03 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
04 1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
05 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
06 Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions

Step 01

Initiate by setting the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking.

Step 02

Remove the biscuits from the package. Separate and divide each biscuit in half. Utilize a rolling pin or your hands to flatten each piece to approximately a quarter inch in thickness, aiming to maintain a rounded shape.

Step 03

In a small mixing bowl, amalgamate the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. This mixture will be used for flavoring and as a glaze for the biscuits.

Step 04

Take two pieces of the sliced mozzarella cheese and place them at the center of each flattened biscuit dough piece. Carefully fold the dough over the cheese, pressing the edges together to seal and form a sealed ball. Ensure the seam is positioned downward when placing the dough balls on a baking sheet.

Step 05

Generously apply the garlic butter mixture to each dough ball using a pastry brush. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 06

Upon removal from the oven, immediately brush the biscuits with the remaining garlic butter mixture for added flavor and sheen. Serve while warm to enjoy the gooey mozzarella filling at its best.

Notes

  1. Use light-colored baking sheet to prevent over-browning.
  2. Best served immediately while cheese is melty.
  3. Can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.
