½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Let’s Make It Together

Follow these simple steps to create your own Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs:

Prepare the Cheese Bombs: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses with garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit. Roll each biscuit into a flat circle, and place a generous tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center. Pinch the edges of the biscuit together to seal the cheese inside and form a ball.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt. This will be the flavorful drizzle that takes your cheese bombs to the next level!
Bake the Cheese Bombs: Place the cheese-filled biscuit bombs on a greased baking sheet and brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, let the cheese bombs cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, as the gooey cheese inside will be irresistible! These are perfect as is or paired with a tangy dipping sauce for a little extra flavor.

Variations & Creative Twists

Zesty Jalapeño Cheese Bombs: Add some finely chopped jalapeños to your cheese mixture for a spicy kick that will wake up your taste buds!
Herbed Cream Cheese Bombs: Swap out the mozzarella and cheddar for a creamy herbed cheese spread to create a rich and indulgent bomb.
Savory Spinach & Feta: Mix in some cooked spinach and crumbled feta cheese with your blend for a Mediterranean twist that’s creamy and flavorful.
Buffalo Chicken Cheese Bombs: Add shredded cooked chicken and a splash of buffalo sauce to the cheese mixture for a delightful kick that’s perfect for game day.
