Simple Garlic Butter Cheese Bites

These easy Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are a delightful and quick appetizer made with refrigerated biscuit dough and filled with gooey mozzarella cheese. Brushed with a flavorful garlic butter mixture, they’re perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 container (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes or shredded
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:

• Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each piece slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.

3. Add Cheese:

• Place a cube or some shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold the edges of the dough around the cheese and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Make sure the cheese is well-covered to avoid leaks.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:

• Place the sealed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, leaving some space between each.

5. Prepare Garlic Butter:

• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.

6. Brush with Garlic Butter:

• Generously brush the tops of each dough ball with the garlic butter mixture, saving some for later.

7. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed.

8. Add More Garlic Butter:

• Once out of the oven, brush the cheese bombs with the remaining garlic butter mixture for extra flavor.

9. Serve Warm:

• Serve immediately while warm and gooey. You can enjoy them as-is or with a dipping sauce like marinara for an extra treat.

Tips:

• Cheese Options: You can swap mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or even cream cheese for different flavors.
• Toppings: Add some chopped bacon, pepperoni, or even jalapeños inside the dough for a spicy twist.
• Storage: These cheese bombs are best served fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
