Get ready to fall in love with these gooey mozzarella biscuit bombs that come together fast with just a few grocery store staples and a swipe of garlicky butter. Imagine a fluffy biscuit wrapping melty mozzarella cheese with a golden crust that smells like your favorite pizzeria. Whether you need a quick appetizer for a gathering or a fun snack for the family, these always disappear in minutes.

Watching the cheese pull apart is my favorite part. I first brought these to a game night with friends and now I get requests for them at every get-together.

Ingredients

  • Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits: Eight count pack makes these quick and ultra flaky Choose a fresh pack with no dents in the can
  • Mozzarella string cheese: Smooth melt and the perfect shape for stuffing Stick with whole milk mozzarella for the best gooey pull
  • Unsalted butter: Creates a rich garlicky glaze Use high quality butter for extra flavor
  • Fresh garlic: Brings real depth to the glaze Look for firm cloves with papery skins
  • Fresh parsley: An herby finish and pop of color Flat leaf parsley is more flavorful than curly
  • Sea salt: Balances richness Opt for fine sea salt so it dissolves easily

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to four hundred degrees Fahrenheit Make sure it is fully heated before baking to ensure the right rise and crispiness
Flatten the Biscuits:
Open the biscuit can and gently pull the biscuits apart Split each one into two halves Take each half and roll or press it out to a quarter inch thickness keeping the shape round
Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl combine your melted butter garlic parsley and a pinch of salt Stir until well mixed as this will both flavor and glaze the biscuits
Stuff the Biscuits:
Cut your mozzarella sticks into even pieces Take two cheese pieces and place in the center of each dough round Carefully fold the dough around them pinching the seams closed Place the seam side down on your baking sheet to help seal in the cheese
Glaze and Bake:
Brush each biscuit ball liberally with the garlic butter Place the tray in the oven Bake eight to ten minutes until biscuits are golden and puffed
Finish and Serve:
Once they come out hot brush all over again with your remaining garlic butter Serve these while warm to enjoy the cheese at its meltiest

Watching everyone tear these open at the table reminds me why gooey cheese always brings a crowd together My favorite part is how the herby garlic butter crisps on the bottom making every bite extra savory

Storage Tips

These biscuit bombs taste best fresh from the oven when the cheese is gooey but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days For reheating use the oven at three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes to bring back some of that fresh baked softness Avoid microwaving as it can make the biscuits rubbery

Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to swap in sharp cheddar cubes or pepper jack cheese for a spicier option For the herbs fresh chives or basil can be a tasty twist If you do not have Pillsbury Grands regular refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent dough will work

Serving Suggestions

Serve these as a party starter game day snack or alongside soup for a cozy meal They are also great dipped in warm marinara or ranch sauce Family style on a big platter is always a hit

Recipe FAQs

Warm biscuit bombs in a preheated oven at 350°F for several minutes to restore crispness and melt the cheese.

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

Steps

Step 01

Set the oven to 400°F to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking.

Step 02

Remove the biscuits from the package. Separate and divide each biscuit in half. Flatten each piece to approximately 0.25 inches in thickness using a rolling pin or hands, keeping a rounded shape.

Step 03

In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. This mixture serves as a flavoring and glaze for the biscuits.

Step 04

Place two pieces of sliced mozzarella cheese at the center of each flattened biscuit dough piece. Fold the dough over the cheese and press the edges together to seal into a ball. Position the seam side down on a baking sheet.

Step 05

Brush the garlic butter mixture generously onto 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.

Step 06

Upon removing from the oven, brush the biscuits immediately with the remaining garlic butter mixture for enhanced flavor and sheen. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey mozzarella filling.

Tips

  1. Use a 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.
