Directions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Biscuits

• Separate the biscuits and flatten each one into a 4–5 inch circle.
• Place a mozzarella cheese stick or cube in the center of each biscuit.

3. Assemble the Bombs

• Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal.
• Roll the dough gently in your hands to form a smooth ball.

4. Place on the Baking Sheet

• Arrange the biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for spreading.

5. Make the Garlic Butter

• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
• Brush the tops of each biscuit bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture.

6. Bake

• Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and cooked through.

7. Add Finishing Touches

• Brush the baked biscuit bombs with any remaining garlic butter.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley (if using).

8. Serve

• Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
