Expert Tips
Seal Well: Make sure to pinch the dough tightly around the cheese to prevent it from leaking out during baking.
Cheese Options: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, pepper jack, or even cream cheese for a different flavor profile.
Double the Flavor: Add a sprinkle of garlic powder inside with the cheese for extra garlicky goodness.
FAQs
Can I use a different brand of biscuits?
Yes, any refrigerated biscuit dough should work, but the baking time may vary slightly.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble the bombs a few hours in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake.
How do I prevent cheese from leaking out?
Ensure the dough is tightly sealed around the cheese and bake seam-side down.
Storing & Reheating
Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
