Craving something cheesy, easy, and lip-smacking? You've found it. Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are a blast for everything—family hangouts, chill nights, or a party starter everyone wants. Buttery outside, melty mozzarella inside, and herby flavor in every bite. Everybody's gonna want seconds.

Dreamy Comfort Favorite

Bite into a Mozzarella Biscuit Bomb and you'll get crispy, golden bread with a gooey cheese center. They're easy to fix and you can switch up the flavors however you like. Great for game day, midnight munchies, or sharing with friends. Dunk in ranch or marinara to make them even better.

Key Things You Need

  • Fresh Parsley: Two tablespoons, chopped super fine, to toss on top for color and taste.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Grab two tablespoons, shredded nice and fine so it sticks right on those bombs.
  • Italian Seasoning: One teaspoon dried blend, crush it a bit so it smells yummy and pops with flavor.
  • Garlic Powder: One teaspoon, fine powder so everything gets that garlicky kick.
  • Melted Butter: Melt four tablespoons of unsalted butter, let it cool down around 110°F/43°C so it coats well.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: Sixteen cubes (about an inch each), let them sit on the counter to warm up—it melts better, especially the fresh ones.
  • Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: Grab a 16.3 oz can, keep dough cold, and split up the biscuits to use one by one.

Insanely Tasty Cheese Bomb Steps

Rest and Enjoy
After baking, let those cheese bombs cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Double check the cheese inside is at least 165°F (74°C) so it's safe and melty. Sprinkle on fresh parsley and dip into whatever sauce you love.
Bake Until Awesome
Set bombs 2 inches apart on your lined tray, dust the tops with Parmesan, and bake in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes. They're done when golden brown outside and oozing inside.
Butter Up With Herbs
Stir garlic powder and Italian seasoning into your melted butter. Brush the mixture all over each biscuit bomb so they're covered and flavorful.
Seal in the Cheese
Drop a mozzarella cube into each flattened biscuit circle. Pinch the dough over the cheese tightly, then roll around in your hands until smooth.
Shape Your Biscuits
Take one circle of biscuit dough at a time (keep the rest cold). Flatten to about a quarter-inch thick, roughly four inches across, but don't handle too much or they get tough.
Get Set Up
Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper and measure everything ahead to speed things up.

Fun Ways to Make It Yours

Eat these cheese bombs while they're nice and warm to keep that melty middle. Go classic with marinara for dipping, or keep it cool with ranch. Want extra flavor? Toss in pepperoni or shake on chili flakes before sealing them up for a spicy surprise.

Common Questions

→ What other cheeses work here?

Certainly! Try swapping in cheddar or even pepper jack. Just pick one that gets melty and cut it to fit inside your biscuit pieces.

→ My cheese escaped while baking – why?

That usually means some dough edges weren’t pinched tight. Pinch them together well and roll each ball between your palms to close up any spots that might open.

→ Is it possible to prep these in advance?

Yep, you can get them ready and stash in the fridge for a few hours before baking. For the true gooey cheese experience, bake them right before you dig in.

→ What’s the best way to keep any extras?

Put them in a closed container in your fridge for two days max. Warm them up in your oven or microwave, but just know the cheese won’t be as melty as fresh out of the oven.

→ What dips or sides go well with these?

Serve them up with some marinara for dipping, or pair alongside soup or salad. Honestly, they’re tasty on their own too!

What You’ll Need

01 items Some chopped fresh parsley, for topping.
02 items A handful of grated Parmesan cheese, about 2 tablespoons.
03 items 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning.
04 items 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
05 items 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
06 items 16 chunks of mozzarella (about 1 inch each).
07 items 1 package of canned biscuit dough.

Steps To Make It

Step 01

Throw some parsley on top and dig in while they’re still warm.

Step 02

Slide the tray in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes till things look golden and yummy.

Step 03

Roll each dough ball in the herby butter. Add them to your baking tray and sprinkle Parmesan all over.

Step 04

Combine the melted butter with both Italian seasoning and garlic powder. That’s your tasty dip.

Step 05

Tear up the biscuit dough. Squish each bit flat, pop a cheese chunk in, and squish those edges closed so nothing leaks.

Step 06

Crank the oven up to 375°F. Put parchment paper on a tray so nothing sticks.

Extra Notes

  1. Pinch the dough edges tight or the cheese will ooze out when baking.
  2. They're amazing straight from the oven because the cheese is all melty.
