Base
- Pillsbury Biscuit Dough (1 can, typically 8 biscuits)
Cheese Filling
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1 to 1 ½ cups)
- Optional Cream Cheese (2 oz, softened)
Garlic Butter
- Butter (¼ cup or 4 tablespoons)
- Fresh Garlic (2 cloves, finely minced)
- Salt (a pinch)
- Fresh Parsley (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
Seasonings
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: Melt ¼ cup butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 2 cloves of finely minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley. Allow the garlic to infuse the butter gently without browning, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prep the Biscuit Dough: Open the Pillsbury biscuit can and separate the biscuits. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit into a 3 to 4-inch circle, thin enough to fold but not tear.
- Add the Cheese Filling: Place a generous spoonful of shredded cheddar cheese (and cream cheese if using) in the center of each flattened biscuit. Drizzle a little garlic butter over the cheese for extra flavor and moisture.
- Form the Cheese Bombs: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the cheese, pinching seams tightly to fully seal each cheese bomb and prevent leaks during baking.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Place each sealed biscuit seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Generously brush the tops with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle a little extra parsley for color.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed, golden brown, and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
Notes
- Seal Well: Pinch dough seams thoroughly to avoid cheese leaks.
- Use Room Temperature Cheese: Helps cheese melt evenly and prevents clumping.
- Brush Twice: Applying garlic butter both before and after baking enhances flavor and moisture.
- Don’t Overfill: Moderate filling prevents cheese from escaping.
- Try Baking on Parchment: Prevents sticking and eases cleanup.
