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 fresh parsley
Pinch of fine sea salt

Preparing the Biscuit Dough

First things first, let’s get our biscuit dough ready. Open up that package of Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits. You’ll find they come pre-cut into 8 individual biscuits. Gently separate them, being careful not to tear the dough. You want to keep the layers intact as much as possible. Take each biscuit and gently flatten it out into a disc. You don’t need to roll it thin, just make it a bit wider and flatter than its origin extractal shape. This will give us a nice surface area to work with for stuffing our mozzarella.

Stuffing the Mozzarella

Now for the fun part – creating our “biscuit bombs”! For each flattened biscuit, we’re going to place a piece of mozzarella string cheese right in the center. Remember, you cut each string cheese stick into 8 equal parts. So, grab one of those cheesy segments. Carefully place it onto the flattened biscuit. Once the mozzarella is in place, it’s time to seal it up. Gently fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the cheese, pinching them together firmly. Think of it like making a little pouch. You want to ensure that the cheese is completely enclosed and won’t ooze out during baking. Pinch all the seams very, very well. If you’re worried about any gaps, you can gently roll the stuffed biscuit between your palms to seal it into a ball shape, making sure all the edges are tucked underneath. Repeat this process for all 8 biscuits.

Prepping for Baking

While you’re busy stuffing those biscuits, it’s a good idea to preheat your oven. Set it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This temperature is perfect for getting those biscuits golden brown and the mozzarella inside wonderfully melted and gooey. Next, prepare your baking sheet. You can line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup, or lightly grease it. Place your stuffed biscuit balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little bit of space between each one. They will expand a bit as they bake, so don’t overcrowd the pan.

Crafting the Garlic-Herb Butter

While the oven is heating and the biscuits are waiting, let’s whip up our delicious garlic-herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. To this, add the 1 tablespoon of finely minced garlic. The fresher the garlic, the more potent and wonderful the flavor will be. Next, stir in the 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley. The parsley adds a beautiful fresh aroma and a touch of color to our buttery topping. Finally, add a pinch of fine sea salt. This little bit of salt will help enhance all the other flavors. Mix everything together thoroughly until it’s well combined. This fragrant butter is going to be brushed over our biscuit bombs right before they go into the oven, adding an incredible layer of savory flavor.

Baking and Serving the Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs

Once your oven is preheated and your biscuits are ready on the baking sheet, it’s time to brush them with that amazing garlic-herb butter. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the melted butter mixture all over the tops and sides of each stuffed biscuit. Make sure you get a good coating on each one. Now, carefully place the baking sheet into your preheated oven. Let them bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they’ve puffed up nicely and are a beautiful golden brown color. The edges should be slightly crisp, and you might even see a tiny bit of cheese peeking out if you’re lucky! Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for just a minute or two. This allows them to firm up slightly. Serve them warm, while the mozzarella inside is still wonderfully hot and gooey. These are perfect as an appetizer, a side dish, or even a quick snack. Enjoy the delightful stretch of that melted mozzarella with every bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the dough for Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the biscuit dough a day in advance. Store it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle.

What kind of mozzarella cheese is best for Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs?

For the best melty results, we recommend using low-moisture mozzarella cheese, either shredded or in stick form cut into small cubes. Fresh mozzarella can release too much liquid, which might make the biscuit bombs soggy.

How should I reheat leftover Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs?

To reheat, place the leftover Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melty again. Microwaving is an option, but the texture might be slightly less crisp.
