What Are Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs?

Think of them as a cheesy twist on garlic knots or pizza rolls, but even easier to make!

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs
Pin it
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
- Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Lightly flatten each biscuit with your hands to make space for the filling.
- Step 3: Stuff with Cheese
- Place one cube of mozzarella in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges over the cheese, pinching tightly to seal completely. Roll into a smooth ball shape and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Step 4: Brush with Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush the tops of each biscuit bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Step 5: Bake Until Golden
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
- Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve with warm marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
I learned the hard way that if you don’t seal the edges properly, cheese leaks out everywhere! Now, I double-check every seam before baking—it’s worth the extra minute!
