Simple Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs

Instructions:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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:

Useful Tips:

• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture for a spicy twist.
