- 4 tablespoons melted butter (half a stick)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Optional: Substitute mozzarella with cheddar or any cheese of your choice. For dietary restrictions, use gluten-free biscuit dough and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
Directions

3. Add the Cheese:
- Place a piece of mozzarella cheese (or your preferred cheese) in the center of each biscuit dough circle.

4. Season and Bake:
- Place the cheese-filled biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
- Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs generously with the seasoned butter mixture.
5. Bake:
- Bake the cheese bombs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey inside.

FAQs
1. Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar, gouda, or any cheese of your choice. Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
2. Can I make the dough from scratch instead of using refrigerated biscuit dough?
Absolutely! If you prefer homemade dough, feel free to use your favorite biscuit dough recipe. Just make sure it’s thick enough to hold the cheese.
3. Can I make these cheese bombs ahead of time?
You can prepare the cheese bombs, assemble them, and refrigerate them for up to 1 day before baking. Just bake them when you’re ready to serve.

Make sure the biscuit dough is sealed tightly around the cheese. You can also use a toothpick to secure the dough until it’s baked if needed.
8. Can I use a different seasoning instead of Italian seasoning?
Yes, you can try using garlic powder, onion powder, or a mix of dried herbs to suit your taste.
9. Can I make these cheese bombs spicy?
