How to Make It

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I always say a warm kitchen is a happy kitchen, and the smell of something fabulous coming together is the best way to start!

2. Prepare the garlic butter

In a small bowl, mix together that luscious melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Take a moment to inhale the garlicky goodness; it’s simply divine.

3. Prepare the biscuits

Open that can of biscuits and separate them (be ready for that satisfying pop!). Flatten each biscuit into a disc about 3 inches wide – a gentle hand means fluffy results!

4. Cheese them up

Place a teaspoon of shredded cheese (oh my, can you feel the anticipation?) in the center of each disc. Be generous, but make sure to leave enough space to fold.

5. Seal them tight

Fold the biscuit over the cheese and pinch the edges firmly to seal. Think of it as giving them a cozy blanket to snuggle in!

6. Arrange them

Arrange your cheese bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment. There’s something magical about those perfectly rounded little packages waiting to bake!

7. Brush on the good stuff

Brush that glorious garlic butter mixture over each cheese bomb, letting it drench into every nook and cranny.

8. Bake until golden

Bake in that preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until those beautiful cheese bombs are golden brown and irresistible. Can you smell that? Heaven on a baking sheet!

9. Garnish and enjoy

Remove those golden beauties from the oven and sprinkle with parsley if desired. Serve warm, and gather everyone around to join the feast!

Pro Tips for Success

• Keep your biscuits cold until you’re ready to use them for the flakiest result.
• Experiment with different cheeses or add a dash of spice to the filling!
• If your dough seems a little sticky, lightly flour your surface for easy handling.

Flavor Variations

• Cheesy Spinach Bombs: Add chopped spinach for a pop of color and nutrition.
• Spicy Pepper Jack: Switch the cheese for pepper jack for a zesty kick!
• Herb-Infused: Use fresh herbs like basil or chives for a fragrant twist.

Serving Suggestions

Serve alongside a warm bowl of tomato soup for dipping, or perhaps a fresh salad with a zesty vinaigrette. For drinks, a chilled white wine pairs beautifully, or for a non-alcoholic option, a sparkling lemonade adds a refreshing zing.

Make-Ahead & Storage

You can assemble these cheese bombs ahead of time and pop them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Just brush on the garlic butter mixture before baking as instructed. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Leftovers

Reinvent them as a cheesy addition to your breakfast! Slice in half and stuff with scrambled eggs and avocado for a satisfying brunch dish, or chop and toss them on a fresh salad!

Freezing

Yes! You can freeze the unbaked cheese bombs for up to 2 months. Seal them well in plastic wrap and then pop them into a freezer bag. Just remember to let them thaw in the fridge before you bake them!

Reheating

For the best results, reheat in the oven until warmed through and crispy, about 5-10 minutes at 350°F. If you’re in a hurry, a microwave will work too, though you may lose that delightful crunch.
