• 1/2 tsp dried oregano – A pinch of oregano adds a classic Italian touch.

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Pop open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin to form a small circle, about 3 inches in diameter.

3. Add the Mozzarella
Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit circle.

4. Form the Bombs
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese, pinching the dough together to form a ball. Make sure the cheese is completely sealed inside.

5. Coat with Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over each biscuit bomb, ensuring they’re fully coated.

6. Bake
Place the biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

7. Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the bombs from the oven. Let them cool for a minute before serving. For extra flavor, you can brush a little more garlic butter on top. Serve them with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!

FAQ Section

Q1: Can I make these in advance?
A1: Yes, you can prepare the biscuit bombs ahead of time, cover them tightly, and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. Just bake them when you’re ready to serve.

Q2: Can I freeze these?
A2: Absolutely! Once you’ve formed the biscuit bombs, freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen solid, transfer them to a ziplock bag and store for up to 3 months. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Q3: Can I use pre-shredded mozzarella cheese?
A3: While it’s best to use block mozzarella for the gooeyest texture, pre-shredded mozzarella will work too. Just be sure to pack the cheese tightly into the biscuit.

Q4: How can I make these spicy?
A4: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture, or stuff the biscuits with a few slices of jalapeño for a spicy twist.

Q5: Can I use a different kind of biscuit dough?
A5: Yes! You can use any type of biscuit dough you prefer, whether it’s buttermilk, flaky, or even gluten-free dough. Just be aware that the texture may vary slightly.

Q6: How do I store leftovers?
A6: Store leftover mozzarella biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispness.

Q7: Can I make these vegetarian?
A7: Yes! These are already vegetarian. Just make sure the biscuit dough you use doesn’t contain any animal-based ingredients (some may use lard, so check the label if you want to keep it vegetarian).

Q8: Can I add meat to the filling?
A8: Of course! You can add cooked sausage, bacon, or pepperoni inside the biscuit dough along with the mozzarella for a meaty twist.

Q9: Can I make these without garlic?
A9: Absolutely! Simply omit the garlic powder from the butter mixture, or replace it with a different seasoning like Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.

Q10: How do I prevent the cheese from leaking out?
A10: Be sure to pinch the edges of the biscuit dough tightly to seal it completely around the cheese. If you have any cracks, it’s best to pinch them closed to prevent the cheese from leaking out while baking.
