Ingredients:

1 (8-count) package Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
4 sticks mozzarella string cheese, each cut into 8 equal parts
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Pinch of fine sea salt

Preparing Your Biscuit Dough

This is where the magic begin extracts! You’ll start by opening your package of Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits. Gently separate them, being careful not to tear the dough. Lay them out on a clean, lightly floured surface or a piece of parchment paper. For these Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs, we want each biscuit to form a perfect pocket for our cheesy surprise. If the biscuits seem a little small, you can gently flatten them out a bit with your fingertips, creating a slightly larger surface area to work with.

Stuffing the Biscuit Bombs

Now for the star of the show: the mozzarella! Take one piece of the cut mozzarella string cheese. Place it in the center of one of your flattened biscuit rounds. The key here is to enclose the cheese completely. Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the mozzarella stick, pinching and sealing them together tighgin extract. Imagine you’re creating a little dough pouch. Ensure there are no gaps or holes, as this is crucial for preventing the delicious melted mozzarella from escaping during baking. Repeat this process with all your biscuits and mozzarella pieces. You should end up with 8 beautifully stuffed biscuit bombs, ready for their buttery bath.

The Flavorful Garlic-Herb Butter

While you’re stuffing your biscuits, it’s a good idea to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your biscuits will bake evenly and achieve that golden-brown perfection. In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the finely minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Stir everything together until it’s well incorporated. This garlic-herb butter is what will give our biscuit bombs an incredible aroma and a savory depth of flavor. The garlic will become fragrant and slightly mellowed in the oven, and the parsley will add a fresh, vibrant note.

Basting and Baking to Golden Perfection

Grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will help with easy cleanup and prevent sticking. Arrange your stuffed biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Now, take a pastry brush and generously brush each biscuit bomb with the prepared garlic-herb butter. Make sure to coat the tops and sides. Don’t be shy with the butter; it’s going to create a beautiful, slightly crispy exterior and infuse the biscuit with amazing flavor. Once they’re all buttered up, it’s time to bake!

Baking Your Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs

Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven. You’ll want to bake these for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as ovens can vary. You’re looking for a beautiful golden-brown color on the tops and sides of the biscuits. The mozzarella inside should be melted and gloriously gooey. If you notice any spots browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Once they’re perfectly baked, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the biscuit bombs cool on the baking sheet for a minute or two before transferring them to a wire rack. This brief cooling period allows them to set slightly, making them easier to handle and ensuring maximum gooeyness.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, absolutely! You can prepare the biscuit dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Allow it to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before proceeding with filling and baking. This makes it even easier to have Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs ready in a flash.

What other cheeses can I use?

While mozzarella is key for that signature stretch, feel free to mix and match! Provolone, Monterey Jack, or even a sharp cheddar can add wonderful depth of flavor. Just ensure they are good melting cheeses. A blend of mozzarella and another cheese is often a winning combination for your Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs.

How do I store leftover Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs?

Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat them in a toaster oven or a regular oven at around 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melty again. Microwaving is also an option, but may result in a slightly less crispy exterior.
