How to Make Cheese Bombs

Making Cheese Bombs is super simple. Just follow these easy steps, and you’ll have cheesy goodness ready in no time!

Ingredients:

• 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1/4 cup melted butter (for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of your choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional, for extra flavor)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for garlic butter topping)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for garlic butter topping)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or dried parsley, for garlic butter topping)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands.
3. Place a small amount of shredded cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. If you like, sprinkle some dried Italian herbs on top of the cheese.
4. Gather the edges of the biscuit around the cheese, pinch and seal to enclose the filling. Roll the biscuit into a ball and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried Italian herbs. Brush this mixture over the cheese bombs.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown.
7. For an extra flavorful touch, mix melted butter with garlic powder and chopped parsley. Brush this garlic butter over the Cheese Bombs after they bake.
8. Allow to cool slightly before enjoying them warm.

How to Serve Cheese Bombs

Serve Cheese Bombs warm, straight from the oven. They make a great appetizer or snack. You can enjoy them on their own, or serve them with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping. Everyone will love pulling them apart and enjoying that cheesy center!

Tips to Make Cheese Bombs

• Make sure to seal the biscuits well to prevent cheese from leaking out while they bake.
