Easy Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs Recipe (Quick & Delicious!)

Introduction & First Steps

If you’re anything like me, there are just some days when you want something easy, cheesy, and absolutely irresistible — and you want it now. That’s where these Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs come in and totally save the day. They’re buttery, gooey, and packed with so much flavor, you’d think you spent hours in the kitchen. Spoiler alert: you didn’t!

The first time I made these, I had about thirty minutes before friends were dropping by for a last-minute get-together. I peeked in the fridge, spotted a can of Pillsbury biscuits and some mozzarella cheese, and thought, Well, here goes nothing! Let’s just say… they were gone before the second round of drinks was even poured. Ever since, these cheese bombs have been my go-to for everything from potlucks to cozy nights in.

Not only are they insanely easy, but they’re also super customizable depending on what you have on hand. Plus, that buttery garlic topping? It’s the stuff dreams are made of.

Alright, let’s dive into what you’ll need to get started!

No Peek Beef Tips Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits (8 count)
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional for topping)

You probably have most of these ingredients hanging around already — which makes this recipe even more dangerous (in the best way possible).

Let’s Start Making Them:

Step 1: Preheat your oven.
Before you even touch the biscuits, go ahead and set your oven to 375°F (190°C). That way it’s hot and ready when you are. Nothing’s worse than finishing your prep and realizing you forgot to turn on the oven, right?

Step 2: Prep the cheese.
Cut your mozzarella cheese into small cubes, about three-quarters of an inch. You want them small enough that they fit nicely inside the dough but big enough to create a nice, melty center when you bite in.

Step 3: Flatten the biscuits.
Now comes the fun part. Open your can of biscuits (brace yourself for that classic “pop” that always gets me!) and separate them. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, gently flatten each biscuit out into a circle about 3–4 inches wide. Think little mini pizza doughs — just thick enough to hold in all that gooey goodness.

Step 4: Fill and seal.
Place one cube of mozzarella right in the center of each biscuit circle. Carefully pull the edges of the dough up and around the cheese, pinching them together tightly at the top to seal. You want a nice, tight seam so your cheese doesn’t escape during baking! Roll them gently between your hands to form a smooth ball.

And that’s it for now! You’ve just created your little cheese-stuffed treasures, ready for the next delicious steps.

Continuing the Recipe & Helpful Tips

Now that you’ve got all your little cheese-stuffed biscuit balls ready to go, it’s time for the real magic: that dreamy garlic butter coating and baking them into golden, cheesy perfection. If your kitchen isn’t already smelling amazing, it’s about to!

Moving on with the recipe:

Step 5: Make the garlic butter.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Give it a good stir so the garlic is nice and evenly distributed. This step is what takes these cheese bombs from good to next-level delicious.

Step 6: Brush it on.
Using a pastry brush (or even a spoon if that’s what you have), coat each cheese bomb with the garlic butter mixture. Make sure to get all around each one — top, sides, everywhere! It’s what gives them that beautiful, buttery glow when they bake up.

Step 7: Time to bake.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (it makes cleanup a breeze). Arrange your garlic-buttered cheese bombs seam-side down, with a little space between them because they’ll puff up as they bake. Pop them into your preheated 375°F oven and bake for 12–15 minutes.

You’re looking for a gorgeous golden brown color and maybe just a teeny bit of cheese trying to peek out of a few spots. That’s when you know they’re ready!

Step 8: Add the final love.
When you pull them out of the oven, brush them with a little more garlic butter for that extra hit of flavor. (Seriously, don’t skip this step!) Then, if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a little chopped fresh parsley and some grated Parmesan cheese over the tops while they’re still hot. It adds a pop of color and just a little something extra.

A Few Helpful Tips:

Seal the edges really well.
This is key! If you don’t pinch the biscuit edges tightly enough around the cheese cube, you’ll get some major cheese blowouts while they bake. Still tasty, but a little messier.

Keep an eye on them.
Every oven is a little different, so start checking around the 12-minute mark. You want them golden brown on top, but not too dark.

Switch up the cheese.
Mozzarella is a classic choice because it melts so beautifully, but you can totally get creative. Sharp cheddar, pepper jack for a little heat, or even gouda if you’re feeling fancy — they all work great!

Make it your own.
Want to get a little wild? Tuck a slice of pepperoni or a small piece of cooked bacon inside with the cheese. Or brush them with an herbed butter for even more flavor.

Why You’ll Love These Cheese Bombs:

• Super fast and easy — ready in under 30 minutes!

FAQ Section & Conclusion

You’re almost there! At this point, your kitchen probably smells absolutely amazing and you’ve got a tray of golden, cheesy goodness cooling on your counter. Before we wrap things up, let’s go over some quick questions you might have about these little bites of joy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I prepare these cheese bombs ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the cheese bombs a few hours ahead. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. Brush with garlic butter right before baking for the best results.

Q2: How should I store leftovers?
If you somehow have leftovers (good luck with that!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.

Q3: Can I freeze them?
Absolutely! After assembling (but before baking), place the bombs on a tray and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F — just add an extra 5 minutes or so to the baking time.

Q4: What other cheeses can I use?
Feel free to mix it up! Sharp cheddar, provolone, gouda, or pepper jack are all delicious options. You could even do a blend for an extra cheesy surprise.

Q5: What if I don’t have fresh garlic?
No worries — you can use about ½ teaspoon garlic powder mixed into the melted butter. It still gives that delicious garlicky flavor without having to mince anything.

Q6: How do I make sure the cheese doesn’t leak out?
The trick is to really pinch the dough tightly around the cheese and place the bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet. Also, don’t overstuff them — a small cube of cheese is perfect.

Q7: What sauces are good for dipping?
These cheese bombs are fantastic on their own, but if you want to dip, marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or even a garlic butter sauce are all great choices!
