Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for your Garlic Cheddar Cheese Bombs.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and salt. Mix well to create a garlic butter mixture.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. You should have 8 biscuits in total.
- Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers or a rolling pin to create a larger surface area for filling.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit over the cheese, pinching them together to seal the cheese inside. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.
- Once all the biscuits are filled and sealed, place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the cheese bombs generously with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring each one is well-coated.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a little extra dried parsley on top of the cheese bombs before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These Garlic Cheddar Cheese Bombs are best enjoyed warm!
Tips
- Ensure your biscuit dough is cold but not frozen for the best texture and ease of handling.
- Seal the cheese bombs completely to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Use fresh garlic for the most intense flavor – pre-minced garlic works, but fresh cloves are always better.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; leave some space between each bomb for even cooking.
- Let the cheese bombs rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- For extra crispiness, you can brush the tops with a little extra melted butter just before serving.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture – these are definitely a "fresh out of the oven" kind of treat!
