The Art of Cheese Bomb Perfection

Proper Dough Handling

Learning to flatten biscuits evenly without tearing creates the perfect wrapper for cheese, ensuring uniform cooking and preventing cheese leakage during baking.

Cheese Encapsulation

Mastering the sealing technique by pinching seams tightly and creating a smooth ball shape prevents cheese from escaping while allowing dough to expand properly.

Garlic Butter Infusion

Combining fresh and dried garlic with melted butter creates layers of flavor complexity that penetrate the biscuit surface for maximum taste impact.

Even Baking Technique

Proper spacing and oven temperature ensure golden-brown exteriors with fully melted cheese centers without overbaking or undercooking any bombs.

Finishing Touch Application

Double-brushing with garlic butter and adding fresh herbs while hot creates professional appearance and intensifies flavor for restaurant-quality results.

Secrets to Perfect Cheese Bomb Success

Sealing Technique: Make sure to pinch the seams very tightly and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Any gaps will cause cheese to leak out during baking, though this won't affect the taste.

Cheese Selection: Mozzarella works best for that classic cheese pull, but you can substitute with cheddar, pepper jack, or a combination of cheeses for different flavor profiles.

Butter Application: Apply the garlic butter twice - once before baking and once immediately after for maximum flavor. The second application creates a beautiful glossy finish.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.

Make-Ahead: You can assemble these up to 4 hours in advance. Keep them covered in the refrigerator, then brush with butter and bake when ready to serve.

Temperature Control: Don't overbake or the cheese will become rubbery. Remove when they're golden brown and still slightly soft to touch.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Cheese Bombs:

1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuits, 8 count

4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

For the Topping:

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Special Equipment:

Baking sheet

Parchment paper or silicone baking mat

Pastry brush

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Open the can of Pillsbury biscuits and separate them into 8 individual biscuits. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to create a disc approximately 4 inches in diameter.

Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal completely, ensuring no cheese can escape during baking. Roll gently between your palms to create a smooth ball.

Arrange the cheese-filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and garlic powder, whisking together until well blended and aromatic.

Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the top and sides of each dough ball, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor and golden color.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed up. The internal temperature should reach 190°F for fully cooked biscuits.

Remove from the oven and immediately brush with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper while still hot.

Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to prevent cheese burns. Serve warm for the best gooey cheese pull experience.
