Description
Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs explode with cheesy goodness right from your kitchen oven. Melted cheese and buttery garlic create an irresistible appetizer that disappears faster than you can bake them.
Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 3 oz mozzarella cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup salted butter
Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dry Ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for your cheese bombs.
- Transform each mozzarella block into three-quarter-inch cubes, ensuring uniform sizing for consistent cooking.
- Gently press each refrigerated buttermilk biscuit flat, creating a smooth surface for cheese placement.
- Center one cheese cube in the middle of each flattened biscuit, carefully folding and pinching edges to create a sealed, round package.
- Position your formed cheese bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Melt ¼ cup salted butter and whisk in 2 teaspoons garlic powder and 2 teaspoons Ranch seasoning mix to craft a fragrant garlic butter.
- Apply a generous brushstroke of garlic butter across the surface of each dough sphere, ensuring complete coverage.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 400°F oven and bake for 13-15 minutes until your bombs achieve a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Remove the bombs from the oven and immediately brush with remaining garlic butter for an extra layer of flavor.
- Allow the cheese bombs to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving, letting the interior cheese settle and cool slightly.
Notes
- Check your mozzarella cubes are uniform in size to ensure even melting inside each bomb.
- Work quickly when sealing cheese inside dough to prevent cheese from getting too soft and leaking.
- When pinching dough edges closed, make sure there are no gaps where cheese can escape during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap refrigerated biscuits with gluten-free biscuit dough or a homemade almond flour dough alternative.
