Ingredients

Gather these simple ingredients to create your own Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs:

Full List of Ingredients

• 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crucial as it ensures your cheese bombs bake evenly and come out perfectly golden. Next, gather all your ingredients and have them ready to go. This makes the process smooth and efficient. You’ll want to have your shredded cheese, melted butter, and minced garlic within reach.

Step 2: Mix the Garlic Butter

In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Whisk this mixture until well combined. The fragrant aroma of garlic will start to fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist licking the spoon! This step is essential as it infuses your cheese bombs with that delicious garlic flavor.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuits

Open the can of Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits and separate each biscuit. You’ll have about 8 biscuits total. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin until they are about 4 inches in diameter. Be careful not to tear them, as you’ll need them to hold all that cheesy goodness inside!

Step 4: Add the Cheese

Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. You can mix and match different cheeses if you like! Just imagine the melty goodness waiting to happen. The cheese will create that delightful gooey center once baked.

Step 5: Form the Cheese Bombs

Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit over the cheese, pinching them together to seal. Make sure there are no gaps, or the cheese might ooze out during baking. This step is crucial for keeping that cheesy filling inside. Gently roll the sealed biscuit into a ball and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6: Brush with Garlic Butter

Once all the cheese bombs are formed, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture you made earlier. Make sure to coat the tops and sides to enhance the flavor. This will create a beautiful golden crust and add that irresistible garlic flavor.

Step 7: Bake the Cheese Bombs

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Keep an eye on them! The smell of garlic and cheese will fill your kitchen, tempting you to sneak a taste before they’re ready.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Once they are perfectly baked, remove the cheese bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Trust me; they’ll be too hot to handle right away! Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and serve them warm. They’re best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but still delicious even after a little cooling.

Freezing for Later
