Ingredients
Scale
- Biscuit Base:
- 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
- Cheesy Core:
- 8 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Flavor Boosters:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Optional Dipping & Finishing Touches:
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
- 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prep the Dough & Cheese: First things first, let’s get organized. Pop open that tube of biscuit dough – honestly, the little *pop* always makes me jump! Separate each biscuit and, if they’re the larger size, gently flatten them out a bit. Then, grab your mozzarella. If you’re using a block, cut it into about 1-inch cubes. You want a good, substantial piece for that perfect gooey center. This is where I sometimes get distracted and nibble on the cheese, oops! Just make sure you have enough left for the bombs, alright?
- Assemble Your Warm Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs: Now for the fun part! Take one flattened biscuit and place a mozzarella cube right in the center. Carefully, gently, bring the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the cheese, pinching them together tightly to seal it completely. You don’t want any cheesy escapes during baking! Think of it like wrapping a little present. This step can get a bit messy, with flour on your fingers, but that’s part of the charm of making these Warm Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs.
- Melt the Butter & Season: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt your butter. It usually takes about 30-45 seconds, just until it’s liquid. Stir in the garlic powder and dried oregano. This aromatic blend is what gives our Warm Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs their irresistible flavor. Give it a good whisk to make sure everything’s combined. The smell of the melted butter with garlic and oregano already gets my tummy rumbling, honestly.
- Coat and Arrange: Dip each assembled biscuit bomb into the melted butter mixture, making sure it’s fully coated. Then, arrange them in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. I usually use a silicone mat or parchment paper because, trust me, cheese can be a sticky business. Make sure they have a little breathing room between them; they’re going to puff up! This is a good time to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), if you haven’t already.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Slide that baking sheet into your preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the Warm Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are beautifully golden brown and puffed up. You’ll see some cheese maybe, *maybe* sneak out a little, and that’s totally fine, even a little charming! Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary. The house will start smelling absolutely divine, a true sign of good things to come.
- Garnish and Serve: Once they’re out of the oven, let your Warm Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs cool for just a minute or two on the baking sheet. They’ll be piping hot, and that cheese inside will be molten! Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if you’re using it, for a pop of color and freshness. Serve these beauties immediately with a warm bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. Seriously, the contrast of the warm, cheesy bomb with the tangy sauce is just *chef’s kiss*!
