Ingredients:
- One 8-count package of Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
- Four sticks of mozzarella string cheese, each cut into eight equal parts
- Four tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
- One tablespoon of finely minced garlic
- Two tablespoons of finely chopped parsley
- A pinch of fine sea salt
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking.
Prepare the Dough:
- Open the package of biscuits and separate each biscuit. Divide each biscuit in half and use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten each piece to about a quarter inch thick, maintaining a roughly rounded shape.
Combine the Seasonings:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and sea salt. This mixture will serve as both a flavor enhancer and a glaze for the biscuits.
Assemble the Biscuits:
- Place two pieces of the sliced mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit piece. Fold the dough over the cheese, pinching the edges together to seal and form a sealed ball. Place each ball seam side down on a lightly colored baking sheet to prevent overcooking the bottoms.
Bake:
- Brush each biscuit bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Final Glaze and Serve:
- As soon as you remove the biscuits from the oven, brush them with the remaining garlic butter mixture for added flavor and a glossy appearance. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey mozzarella filling at its best.
Storage Options:
- Room Temperature: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be kept at room temperature for a few hours.
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
Tips:
- Sealing the Dough: Ensure that the dough is completely sealed around the cheese to prevent it from leaking out during baking.
- Serving Suggestions: These biscuit bombs can be served with marinara sauce for dipping or alongside a salad for a light meal.
- Variations: Add some chopped pepperoni or cooked sausage inside with the cheese for an extra flavor twist.
