Ingredients for Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheesebombs
- 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (8 count)
- 8 cubes of mozzarella cheese (about ¾ inch each)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Flatten the Biscuits
Open the can of Pillsbury biscuits and separate them. On a clean surface, flatten each biscuit using your fingers or a rolling pin to form a 4- to 5-inch circle.
Step 3: Add the Cheese Center
Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. You can use other types of cheese as well—cheddar, provolone, or a blend for a different twist.
Step 4: Seal and Shape
Bring the edges of the biscuit up around the cheese and pinch tightly to seal. Roll gently between your palms to form a smooth ball, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
Step 5: Arrange and Brush with Garlic Butter
Place the cheesebombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper. Brush each ball generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked. If desired, brush with any remaining garlic butter immediately after baking for extra flavor and shine.
Step 7: Serve Warm
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed warm while the cheese is still deliciously melty.
Storage Instructions
To store leftover Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheesebombs, let them cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results when reheating, place them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 8–10 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them for 30–45 seconds, though the texture will be softer and less crisp.
For longer storage, freeze the baked cheesebombs in a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat straight from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until warmed through and bubbly inside.
