Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits

1. Open the Biscuit Dough:
   • Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. If using larger biscuits, you can cut them in half to make smaller bombs.
2. Flatten the Biscuits:
   • Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a disk, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

1. Place the Cheese:
   • Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit disk.
2. Form the Bombs:
   • Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese, pinching the seams together to seal and form a ball. Make sure the cheese is completely enclosed to prevent it from leaking out during baking.

Step 4: Season the Bombs

1. Prepare the Butter Mixture:
   • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried Italian seasoning.
2. Brush the Biscuits:
   • Place the sealed biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the seasoned melted butter.

Step 5: Bake

1. Bake:
   • Bake the biscuit bombs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

1. Add Parmesan Cheese:
   • Immediately after removing the biscuit bombs from the oven, sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
2. Cool Slightly:
   • Allow the biscuit bombs to cool for a few minutes before serving.
3. Serve:
   • Serve the Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips for Perfect Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs

• Sealing: Ensure the biscuit dough is well-sealed around the cheese to prevent any cheese from leaking out during baking.
• Cheese Alternatives: Try using different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a variation in flavor.
• Extra Flavor: Add a slice of pepperoni or a bit of cooked sausage along with the cheese for a pizza-inspired twist.
• Air Fryer Option: These biscuit bombs can also be made in an air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
