Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Remove the biscuit dough from the container and place it on a clean surface. Place an equal amount of cheese (about 1/2 ounce per biscuit) on each biscuit. You can use shredded mozzarella, diced string cheese, or soft mozzarella cut into pieces. For a different flavor, you may use cheddar cheese.
- Shape the Cheese Bombs: Wrap the biscuit dough around the cheese and pinch the edges together to seal. Make sure to press tightly to keep the cheese from leaking out during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each sealed dough ball, seam side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. This helps the cheese bombs maintain their shape while baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown. The baking time may vary depending on the size of the dough balls and your oven. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: While the cheese bombs are baking, melt the butter in the microwave. Mix in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Once the cheese bombs are done baking, brush each one generously with the garlic butter mixture for added flavor and a glossy finish.
- Serve: Enjoy the cheese bombs hot and fresh from the oven. They are best eaten warm to appreciate the melted cheese inside.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
- Serving: These garlic butter cheese bombs are at their best when served warm. They make a delightful appetizer or snack.
- Storing: Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
Useful Tips:
- Cheese Varieties: Experiment with different types of cheese like cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend for varied flavors.
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture for a spicy twist.
- Add-ins: Consider filling the biscuits with pepperoni slices, cooked bacon bits, or other favorite toppings for added surprise and flavor.
Advice from Renowned Chefs:
- Chef Bobby Flay: Enhance the garlic butter with fresh herbs like basil or oregano for a touch of freshness.
- Chef Giada De Laurentiis: Use high-quality mozzarella for the best melting consistency and taste.
- Chef Ina Garten: For extra flavor and a glossy finish, brush the cheese bombs with additional garlic butter before serving.
