Ingredients for Buttery Garlic Cheese Bombs

Before we get into the fun part, let’s talk ingredients. I love this recipe because it uses simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry or fridge. Here’s what you’ll need to make these cheesy, buttery bombs of goodness:

• 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (I recommend the flaky layers kind for that extra tenderness)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (freshly shredded mozzarella gives the best melt and texture)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (trust me, the butter is key here—it gives these cheese bombs their golden, irresistible crust)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (if you’re a garlic lover like me, you can add a little more to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (extra flavor without being overpowering)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (this herb adds a nice touch of flavor that complements the garlic and cheese)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (helps balance out all the flavors)
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (a little heat, but not too much!)

If you want to get creative, you could also add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or some crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick. But this basic recipe is already amazing, so don’t feel like you need to change a thing.

How to Make Buttery Garlic Cheese Bombs

Okay, let’s get down to business! This recipe is so easy, and I’m sure you’ll have a blast making these. Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). We want it nice and hot so that the cheese bombs bake up perfectly golden and gooey on the inside.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

Open up your can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. You’ll want to flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers—don’t worry about making it perfect. Just enough to give yourself some room to work with when you add the cheese. A little press will do the trick!

Step 3: Add the Cheese and Garlic

Next, take a generous tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese and place it in the center of each biscuit. This is where the magic happens. The cheese will melt and create that gooey, cheesy center that everyone loves.

Then, sprinkle a pinch of minced garlic (about 1/4 teaspoon) on top of the cheese. If you’re a huge garlic fan like me, feel free to add a little more garlic. The flavor really gets absorbed into the dough, making each bite that much better.

Step 4: Fold and Roll

Once the cheese and garlic are in place, carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough up around the cheese. Pinch the edges together to seal them as best as you can—this is important because we don’t want the cheese escaping while baking! After sealing, gently roll the dough into a ball. You want to make sure the cheese stays inside the biscuit, but it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Step 5: Coat with Butter and Seasonings

Now, for the best part! Melt your butter and stir in the garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. This buttery garlic mixture will give these cheese bombs their amazing flavor and golden color.

Dip each cheese-filled dough ball into the butter mixture, coating it generously. The butter will soak into the dough and give it that irresistible crispiness. Don’t skip this step—it’s what makes these cheese bombs so delicious!

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place your butter-coated cheese bombs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread them out evenly so they have room to expand. Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them—they should be golden brown and puffed up by the time they’re done. Your kitchen will start smelling amazing as these bake up!

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Once your cheese bombs are golden brown and bubbly, take them out of the oven and let them cool for just a minute before serving. I like to serve mine with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, but they’re delicious on their own, too. I promise, these will be gone before you know it!

Pro Tips for Perfect Buttery Garlic Cheese Bombs

Want to make sure your cheese bombs turn out perfectly every time? Here are some pro tips to help:

• Use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese: I can’t stress this enough! Freshly shredded cheese melts so much better than pre-shredded cheese. It gives these cheese bombs that gooey, melty texture we all crave.
• Don’t overstuff the biscuits: You want enough cheese for that oozy filling, but not too much that the dough can’t hold it. A tablespoon per biscuit is perfect.
• Let the dough rest a bit before sealing: If the dough feels a little too stiff when you’re folding it, let it sit for a minute or two. It’ll be easier to work with.
• Bake them until golden: Don’t rush the baking process! These cheese bombs need that extra minute to get nice and golden on the outside and perfectly melted on the inside.
