Let’s get baking!

Ingredients (in Grams)

For the Cheese Bombs:

250g refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough)
150g mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 small cubes
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting, optional)

For the Garlic Butter:

50g unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh, finely chopped)
¼ teaspoon salt

For Topping:

30g grated Parmesan cheese
Extra parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.

Step 2: Assemble the Cheese Bombs

Flatten each piece of biscuit dough into a small circle (about 5cm in diameter).
Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges tightly to seal, and roll into a smooth ball.
Place the sealed side down on the baking sheet.

Step 3: Brush with Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, parsley, and salt.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the cheese bombs.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffy.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush with more garlic butter for extra flavor.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and extra parsley for a finishing touch.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Serve warm for the ultimate gooey cheese pull!
Enjoy with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a warm bowl of soup.
