**1. Preheat the Oven:**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
**2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:**
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine, and set the mixture aside.
**4. Fill with Cheese:**
Place a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. You can use more cheese if you want them extra cheesy, but be careful not to overfill them, or they may burst while baking.
**5. Form the Cheese Bombs:**
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese to form a ball. Pinch the edges together tightly to seal the cheese inside. You should now have a perfectly sealed cheese-filled dough ball.
**7. Bake the Cheese Bombs:**
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and the biscuit dough is fully cooked. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t over-brown.
**9. Serve and Enjoy:**
Allow the cheese bombs to cool for a minute or two before serving. These are best enjoyed warm, with gooey melted cheese inside and a savory garlic butter coating.
– **Use Fresh Garlic:** While garlic powder can work in a pinch, fresh garlic will give you the best flavor. It infuses the butter and creates that irresistible garlic aroma.
– **Try Different Cheeses:** While mozzarella is classic, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar, gouda, or even cream cheese can give your cheese bombs a unique twist.
– **Make Ahead:** You can assemble these cheese bombs ahead of time and refrigerate them. When you’re ready to bake, just brush them with the garlic butter and pop them into the oven. This makes them perfect for parties or gatherings.
– **Serve with Dipping Sauce:** These cheese bombs are delicious on their own, but they can be even better with a side of marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli for dipping.
These cheese bombs are everything you want in a savory snack: cheesy, garlicky, buttery, and oh-so-satisfying.
