Take regular biscuits to the next level with these Gooey Garlic Cheese Bombs. Each golden bite explodes with melty cheese and punchy garlic, making a fantastic handheld snack that elevates simple comfort food. The secret's in folding soft biscuit dough around a chunk of cheese, then slathering it with buttery garlic mixture before baking until they turn perfectly golden.

The first time I served these at our monthly game gathering, they vanished quicker than all other snacks. Even my fussy nephew, who normally turns his nose up at new food, asked for more—twice!

Key Components

  • Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits: The flaky texture makes them ideal for wrapping around our cheese mix

  • Fresh Garlic: Delivers that knockout smell and taste that defines these treats
  • Dried Oregano: Adds an Italian flair that works wonders with the cheeses
  • Fresh Parsley: Brings brightness and color to each mouthful
  • Salt and Pepper: Tie all the flavors together beautifully

My grandma always told me cheese and garlic belong together. After making these bombs for years, I totally get it now. The way garlic soaks into the butter and then into the dough creates amazing flavor that you'll remember long after the last bite.

Prep Ahead Tricks

Need to plan for a party? You can put these bombs together up to 4 hours before you need them. Just follow the steps, set them on your baking tray, wrap with plastic, and stick them in the fridge. When it's time to cook, brush on the garlic butter and pop in the oven. They might take a minute or two longer since they're cold.

Tasty Companions

These cheese bombs taste amazing by themselves, but they're even better with marinara sauce for dipping. The tangy tomato perfectly cuts through the rich cheese. For a full meal, add a simple green salad with light dressing to balance out all that delicious cheesiness.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

If you somehow don't finish all of them, keep any extras in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 3 days. To warm them up, put them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes until they're hot again. Don't use your microwave—it'll make the biscuits hard and rubbery.

Fun Flavor Swaps

Feel free to try different fillings. Throw in some diced pepperoni, red pepper flakes, or even a bit of pesto with the cheese. Each change gives you a whole new taste while keeping that awesome gooey center that makes these bombs so good.

What You'll Need

→ Base

01 1 can (16.3 oz) of Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits

→ Cheese Filling

02 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
03 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded

→ Garlic Butter Coating

04 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
05 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
06 3 cloves of garlic, minced
07 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
08 1/4 teaspoon of salt
09 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano

→ Garnish

10 Chopped fresh parsley

Steps to Follow

Step 01

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Put some parchment paper on a baking sheet so nothing sticks.

Step 02

In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, oregano, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure it's all mixed up evenly.

Step 03

Open up the Pillsbury biscuit can, then pull apart the biscuits. Flatten each one gently with your hands into a circle shape.

Step 04

Scoop about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar and mozzarella into the middle of each flattened biscuit. This is the good stuff!

Step 05

Fold the sides of the biscuit over the cheese. Pinch the edges to keep the cheese inside and roll them into sealed balls.

Step 06

Dip each ball into the garlic butter mixture, making sure they're well-coated all around.

Step 07

Set the seam side of the balls down on the baking sheet. If there's any leftover garlic butter, drizzle it on top.

Step 08

Slide them into the oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they're golden and smell amazing.

Step 09

When they come out of the oven, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top while they're still warm.

Additional Notes

  1. These little cheese-filled bites are best while warm, with the cheese all gooey and stretchy.
  2. Try swapping out the cheddar and mozzarella with your favorite cheeses to make them unique!
