These Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are soft, cheesy, and bursting with garlic flavor. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, they’re easy to make and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients:
For the Cheese Bombs:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 8 small cubes of mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
For the Garlic Butter Topping:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Flatten each biscuit with your hands to make it slightly larger and place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit.
Step 2: Wrap and Seal
Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese, pinching the seams to seal. Roll into a ball and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Season the Tops
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the biscuit balls with the garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 4: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
Step 5: Add Garlic Butter Topping
While the cheese bombs are still warm, mix the garlic butter topping ingredients (melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley) and brush generously over each cheese bomb for extra garlic flavor.

- Serving: Serve these cheese bombs warm as a side to pasta, soup, or salads. They’re also great as a party appetizer with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
