Here’s a delicious recipe for Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs that’s perfect for a snack or appetizer!
Ingredients
- For the Biscuit Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- For the Filling:
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- For Topping:
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Assemble the Bombs:
- Turn the biscuit dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times until smooth.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut it into circles (about 3 inches in diameter).
- Place a cube of mozzarella filling in the center of each circle. Fold the edges over the cheese and pinch to seal, forming a ball.
- Bake: Place the biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Topping: While the bombs are baking, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a small bowl.
- Finish: Once the biscuit bombs are done baking, brush them with the garlic butter mixture. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve:
Enjoy these gooey mozzarella biscuit bombs warm, with marinara sauce for dipping if desired!
Tips:
- You can customize the filling with other cheeses or add herbs and spices to suit your taste.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a bit of cooked sausage or pepperoni to the cheese filling.
Enjoy your gooey treats!
