Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs – Gooey, Cheesy Comfort in Every Bite
If there’s one thing that has the magical power to unite everyone at the table, it’s warm, cheesy bread. The kind that makes you lean in a little closer when it’s pulled apart, strings of gooey mozzarella stretching like a promise of comfort and joy. That’s exactly what Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs bring to the party.
These golden, buttery little bites are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely bursting with molten mozzarella at their core. They’re the kind of food that earns “oohs” and “ahhs” the moment you set the platter down—perfect for family game night, a casual holiday appetizer, or a cozy afternoon snack with friends.
The magic? You don’t need a long list of ingredients or hours of prep. With just a can of refrigerated biscuit dough, mozzarella cheese, butter, garlic, and parsley, you’ll be whipping up something that tastes like it came from a cozy Italian kitchen.
The Story Behind the Recipe
I remember the first time I made these Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs for a neighborhood potluck. I was running late, the oven timer was buzzing, and I wasn’t sure how they’d turn out. But when I arrived, I barely set the tray down before people were grabbing them by the handful. By the time I got back with my drink, the platter was nearly empty.
Since then, these little golden nuggets have become a staple in my kitchen. They’re fuss-free, deeply satisfying, and adaptable—serve them with marinara for dipping, drizzle with garlic butter, or even add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy twist.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (about 1-inch each)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Marinara sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands.
- Place one mozzarella cube in the center of each biscuit round. Fold the dough up around the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal.
- Roll each filled biscuit into a smooth ball and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Brush generously over each biscuit ball.
- Sprinkle lightly with grated Parmesan, if desired.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve warm, with marinara sauce for dipping.
