Let’s Make it together
Prep Your Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the biscuit dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual biscuits.
Add the Cheese: Place a generous spoonful of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit piece. Be generous; nobody wants half-hearted cheese!
Form Your Bombs: Gently fold each biscuit over the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to avoid any escapees during baking.
Create Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). This will have your kitchen smelling divine.
Add Seasoning: Stir in dried parsley flakes along with salt and pepper into your melted garlic butter mixture for extra flavor.
Bake Away: Brush each cheesy bomb generously with garlic butter before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until they’re golden brown.
As you follow these steps, don’t forget to keep an eye on those cheesy balls baking away; trust me—the anticipation builds as they start browning beautifully!
