Ingredients Overview
- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: The base for soft, fluffy biscuit bombs.
- Mozzarella Cheese: The gooey, melty center.
- Butter & Garlic: Adds rich flavor to every bite.
- Italian Seasoning: Enhances the cheesy goodness.
Ingredients (Makes 8-10 Biscuit Bombs)
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 8-10 mozzarella cheese cubes (about 1-inch each)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Stuff the Biscuits
Flatten each biscuit slightly and place a mozzarella cube in the center. Fold the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges to seal completely.
Step 3: Brush with Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Brush each stuffed biscuit with garlic butter and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and puffy.
Step 5: Finish & Serve
Brush with more garlic butter, sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
