The image shows six golden-brown baked cheese balls resting on a wooden board placed on a white marbled surface. Each cheese ball has a crispy, slightly browned outer layer with flecks of green herbs scattered on the surface, giving a textured and appetizing look. The front cheese ball is broken open, revealing gooey, melted cheese stretching inside with a soft, creamy white interior. The cheese balls are round and plump, with the browned tops showing some bubbling and crisp spots, and small green herb bits are also scattered around the board.

Ingredients

1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits
8 cubes (about 0.75 in each) mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Separate the Pillsbury biscuits and gently flatten each one slightly.
Step 3: Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit. Pinch the edges tightly to seal and form each into a ball.
Step 4: Arrange the sealed biscuit balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over each biscuit ball.
Step 6: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the biscuit balls turn golden brown. Serve warm for best results.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture before brushing.
Swap mozzarella cubes with cheddar or pepper jack for a different cheesy twist.
Use fresh herbs like thyme or oregano instead of parsley to vary the taste.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the cheese bombs on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5–7 minutes until heated through and crispy on the outside.

How to Serve

The image shows six round, golden-brown baked cheese balls placed closely together on a wooden board over a white marbled surface. Each cheese ball has a crispy and slightly browned outer layer with small green parsley flakes sprinkled on top. One cheese ball is broken open, revealing a soft, gooey, and stretchy melted cheese center with herbs mixed inside. The texture contrasts between the crunchy outside and the smooth, creamy inside. Small bits of herbs also scatter on the wooden board around the balls. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen biscuits for this recipe?

Yes, frozen refrigerated biscuits can be used, but make sure to thaw them according to package instructions before assembling the cheese bombs.

What cheese works best if I don’t have mozzarella cubes?

String cheese sticks cut into small pieces work well as a substitute, or you can cube any mild melting cheese like Monterey Jack or mild cheddar.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits and Cheese

1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits
8 cubes (about 0.75 in each) mozzarella cheese

Garlic Butter Topping

3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.
Prepare Biscuits: Separate the Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits and lightly flatten each one to create a surface for wrapping the cheese cubes.
Stuff Biscuits: Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully pinch the edges together to seal the cheese inside and form the biscuit into a ball shape.
Arrange for Baking: Place the sealed biscuit balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to ensure they don’t open during baking.
Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to blend the flavors evenly.
Brush and Top: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each biscuit ball. Then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top to add a crispy, savory crust.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 13–15 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best gooey, flavorful experience.

Notes

Seal the biscuits tightly around the cheese to prevent leakage during baking.
Feel free to substitute mozzarella cubes with other cheeses like cheddar for a different flavor.
Use fresh garlic and parsley for the best taste in the garlic butter.
You can prepare these in advance and refrigerate before baking; just add a couple extra minutes to baking time if chilled.
Serve these cheese bombs as an appetizer, party snack, or alongside soups and salads.
