Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Biscuits: Open the container of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circle on a flat surface.
Add the Cheese: Place a piece of mozzarella cheese (or your preferred cheese) in the center of each biscuit dough circle. Fold the edges of the dough up and around the cheese, pinching to seal and form a ball. Make sure the dough is sealed tightly to prevent any cheese from leaking during baking.
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.
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.
Serve: Serve the garlic butter cheese bombs warm. Enjoy them as a snack on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice, like marinara or ranch.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or provolone for varying flavors.

If making these in advance, assemble the cheese bombs and refrigerate them for up to 1 day before baking.

For a dairy-free version, substitute the mozzarella and butter with non-dairy alternatives.
