Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the biscuit dough:
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small round with your hands or a rolling pin, making it about 3 inches wide.
-
Stuff the biscuits:
- Place about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the cheese inside, forming a ball. Make sure the cheese is completely enclosed.
-
Arrange on the baking sheet:
- Place the sealed biscuit bombs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
-
Brush with butter and seasonings:
- Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) for extra flavor.
-
Bake:
- Bake the mozzarella biscuit bombs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- You can add some cooked sausage, pepperoni, or spinach inside the biscuit bombs along with the mozzarella for added flavor.
- For a cheesy twist, you can mix in some Parmesan or cheddar cheese with the mozzarella.
- If you prefer a crispy bottom, you can place the biscuit bombs directly on the oven rack for the last 5 minutes of baking.
