If there’s one dish that embodies comfort, simplicity, and pure indulgence, it’s the Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs. These little bites of heaven are the perfect fusion of warm, fluffy biscuits, gooey mozzarella cheese, and a rich garlic butter coating. Whether you’re hosting a gathering, looking for a fun appetizer, or simply craving a cheesy snack, these cheese bombs are bound to be a hit.

The first time I made these cheese bombs, I was looking for a quick and easy appetizer for a family movie night. The idea of combining Pillsbury biscuits with melty cheese seemed like a no-brainer, but the addition of garlic butter took these treats to another level. As they baked, the aroma of garlic and melted cheese filled the kitchen, and my family couldn’t wait to dig in. The moment we took our first bite, we were hooked. The crispy, golden exterior gave way to a soft, cheesy center, and the garlic butter added a burst of flavor that was simply irresistible.

Ingredients and Their Roles
Before we delve into the detailed instructions, let’s talk about the ingredients that make these cheese bombs so special:

1 (16oz) container of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits): Pillsbury biscuits are the foundation of this recipe. They are convenient, versatile, and bake up fluffy and golden. Each biscuit is flattened to create a pocket for the cheese.

4 ounces mozzarella cheese (soft, shredded or diced string cheese): Mozzarella is chosen for its excellent melting properties and mild, creamy flavor. You can use shredded mozzarella or diced string cheese sticks.

4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick): Butter is melted and combined with seasonings to create a rich, flavorful coating for the biscuits. It helps achieve a beautiful golden color and enhances the taste.

1 tsp garlic powder: Garlic powder infuses the butter with a robust garlic flavor, making each bite savory and aromatic.

1 tsp Italian seasoning: This blend of herbs (typically basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme) adds a touch of earthy, aromatic flavor that complements the garlic and cheese perfectly.

Pinch of salt: A small amount of salt enhances the overall flavor, balancing the richness of the butter and cheese.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Now, let’s walk through the process of making these delectable Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs.
1. Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the oven is hot and ready for baking once the biscuits are prepared.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. This prevents the cheese bombs from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
