Ingredients

1 For the Cheese Bombs

1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits (8-count)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

2 For the Garlic Butter

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Prepare the Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and crumbled bacon if using.

3. Assemble the Cheese Bombs

Open the can of Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits and separate the biscuits.
Flatten each biscuit into a small circle on a lightly floured surface.
Spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit.
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit around the cheese filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Ensure the cheese is completely enclosed.

4. Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.

5. Coat and Bake

Dip each cheese bomb into the garlic butter mixture, making sure it’s well-coated.
Place the coated cheese bombs onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6. Garnish and Serve

Remove the cheese bombs from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter.
If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

Sealing the Biscuits: Make sure to pinch the edges of the biscuits tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.
Cheese Varieties: Feel free to use a combination of your favorite cheeses for different flavor profiles.
Serving: These cheese bombs are best served warm, straight out of the oven. They can be reheated in the oven to regain their crispiness.

Substitutions/Variations

Vegetarian: Omit the bacon for a vegetarian-friendly option.
Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.
Herbs: Experiment with other fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary in the garlic butter for added flavor.
