Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated reduced-fat biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 2 oz reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 cubes
- 2 tablespoons light butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh, chopped)
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Optional: pinch of grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each piece into a small circle, about 3 inches in diameter.
- Add the Cheese: Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese and pinch to seal tightly, forming a ball.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cheese-filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Brush the mixture generously over each dough ball.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Optional—sprinkle a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
Tips for Success
- Seal the Dough Well: Ensure the dough is sealed tightly around the cheese to prevent leaks while baking.
- Experiment with Cheese: Try reduced-fat cheddar, pepper jack, or even a mix of cheeses for variety.
- Serve Immediately: These bombs are best enjoyed warm while the cheese is gooey and melty.
- Make It Fancy: Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning for extra flair.
