Description
Golden, buttery, and irresistibly cheesy, these Cheesy Garlic Bliss Bombs deliver a perfect balance of crispiness and gooeyness in every bite. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side dish!
Ingredients
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade dough for an artisanal touch)
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cubed (for maximum melty goodness)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (freshly minced for bold flavor)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (or substitute with olive oil)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (for a herbaceous boost)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for a crispy, salty finish)
- Pinch of salt (to enhance all flavors)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional) (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch circle with your fingers.
Step 3: Stuff with Cheese
Place a cube of mozzarella in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges over and pinch tightly to seal.
Step 4: Coat with Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Brush generously over each dough ball.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the bliss bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 6: Finish and Serve
Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley while still warm. Serve immediately for the best cheesy pull!
Notes
- For Extra Crispiness: Bake on a preheated pizza stone instead of a baking sheet.
- Dough Options: Swap biscuit dough with pizza dough or puff pastry for different textures.
- Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to revive crispiness.
- Make It Healthier: Use whole wheat dough, low-fat mozzarella, or olive oil instead of butter for a lighter version.
- Freezing Tip: Freeze unbaked bliss bombs and bake from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes to the bake time.
