Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is the first step towards creating these delectable cheese bombs. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 can of Pillsbury biscuits (8 count)
- 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (approximately 1 inch each)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
If you’re looking for a twist, consider substituting the mozzarella with cheddar or pepper jack for a bit of a kick. The beauty of cooking is in its flexibility, much like how my abuela taught me to use what was available in our bustling kitchen.
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making these delicious cheese bombs. Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Open the can of Pillsbury biscuits and separate them. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers.
- Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit. Carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining biscuits and cheese.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley and mix well.
- Place the sealed cheese bombs on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush each bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each bomb.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
One thing my grandmother always emphasized was the importance of patience—letting the dough rest, allowing flavors to meld. Take a moment to enjoy the process, and you’ll be rewarded with delightful results.
