What Goes into This Cheesy Biscuit Bombs
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up your own batch of Cheesy Biscuit Bombs:
- 1 can (450 g) Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Biscuits (8-count)
- 8 mozzarella cheese cubes (about 2.5 cm each)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (divided)

How to Make Cheesy Biscuit Bombs
Ready to make your kitchen smell amazing? Let’s get started!
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Open the can of biscuits and separate the 8 biscuits. On a clean surface, gently flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands to create a disk.
- Place one cheese cube in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese, gathering it around the cheese cube. Pinch the dough tightly to seal the cheese inside.
- Roll each biscuit into a smooth, round ball, placing it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the seams are well-sealed to prevent the cheese from oozing out while baking.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the biscuit bombs.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
