Mozzarella Cheese Bombs are deliciously cheesy, bite-sized treats made from premade biscuit dough wrapped around gooey mozzarella cubes, coated with a savory blend of butter, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, then baked to golden perfection.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Biscuit Dough and Cheese

  • 1 Can premade biscuits (8 biscuits)
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese (block form)

Coating

  • 3 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the cheese bombs to a perfect golden brown.
  2. Prepare Dough and Cheese: Open the can of premade biscuits and separate each biscuit into two round slices, making a total of 16. Cut the block of mozzarella cheese into 16 small cubes, approximately 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch in size. Place one cube of mozzarella in the center of each biscuit dough round.
  3. Seal Cheese in Dough: Bring the edges of the dough around the cheese cube and pinch them together securely, making sure the cheese is completely sealed inside the dough to prevent leakage while baking.
  4. Prepare Coating: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to create the savory cheese coating.
  5. Coat Cheese Bombs: Dip the top of each dough-covered cheese ball into the melted butter, then roll or sprinkle them in the Parmesan cheese and seasoning mixture, coating thoroughly.
  6. Bake: Place the prepared cheese bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the dough is lightly browned and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, enhancing the cheesy, savory flavors with a tangy complement.

Notes

  • Make sure to pinch the dough edges tightly to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
  • You can substitute Italian seasoning with a blend of dried basil, oregano, and thyme if preferred.
  • The cheese bombs are best served fresh and warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan mixture.
  • Use low-moisture mozzarella for best melting and minimal moisture leakage.
