Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs Recipe

Introduction

These Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are a delightful appetizer that’s crispy on the outside and wonderfully melty inside. Perfect for sharing, they’re quick to prepare and sure to impress any crowd with their cheesy, buttery flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
• 8-10 cubes low-moisture mozzarella cheese
• 4 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces and gently flatten each piece slightly with your hands.
3. Step 3: Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened dough piece. Carefully fold and pinch the dough to seal fully, forming a tight ball.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, mixing well.
5. Step 5: Dip each dough ball into the seasoned butter mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
6. Step 6: Place the coated dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Step 7: Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and puffed up.
8. Step 8: Once baked, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for a mild kick.
• Try stuffing the biscuit bombs with other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a different taste.
• If you prefer an herby crust, mix some dried oregano or basil into the Parmesan before sprinkling on top.

Storage

Store any leftover biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to retain their crispiness and melted cheese texture. Avoid microwaving as it can make the dough soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated dough?

Yes, homemade biscuit dough works perfectly. Just make sure it’s slightly chilled and easy to handle when wrapping the cheese cubes.

What can I substitute for low-moisture mozzarella?

You can use regular mozzarella, but low-moisture mozzarella melts better and reduces extra liquid inside the biscuit bombs. Other melty cheeses like provolone or Monterey Jack can also be good substitutes.

Biscuit Bombs

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
• 8–10 cubes low-moisture mozzarella cheese

Butter Coating

• 4 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Topping

• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
2. Prepare Dough: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual pieces and gently flatten each one slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to prepare for filling.
3. Fill with Cheese: Place one cube of low-moisture mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened dough piece, then carefully fold and pinch the edges together to seal and form a ball, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
4. Make Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, mixing well to infuse the butter with aromatic flavors.
5. Coat Biscuit Bombs: Dip each sealed dough ball into the seasoned butter mixture, making sure each one is thoroughly coated for a rich flavor and golden crust.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the butter-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down to prevent them from opening during baking. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of cheesy goodness.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs turn golden brown and puff up, indicating they are cooked through and the cheese inside is melted.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for a fresh, vibrant finish, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

• Use low-moisture mozzarella cheese cubes to avoid excess moisture and ensure gooey yet firm cheese centers.
• Make sure to seal the dough tightly around the cheese to prevent leaks during baking.
• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for a spicy kick.
• Serve with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce for an enhanced appetizer experience.
• These can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a couple extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
