Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs - A Cheesy, Buttery Bite of Heaven! Ingredients:

 

I. WHAT ARE GARLIC BUTTER CHEESE BOMBS?

At their core, cheese bombs are soft rolls stuffed with cheese that melts into a warm, gooey center. But this version takes the classic concept and upgrades it using:

• Pillsbury canned biscuits (the flaky, buttery kind everyone grew up with)

• Garlic butter brushed generously over the top

• Fresh herbs for aroma

• A cheese that pulls into stretchy, melty strands

The result?
A tender, moist roll with a molten cheese center and a golden garlic-butter crust. Fast. Foolproof. Deeply comforting.

They’re “party food,” “comfort food,” and “snack food” all rolled into one tiny round bundle of happiness.

⭐ II. INGREDIENTS

These cheese bombs require only a handful of ingredients, yet the result tastes like something from a restaurant.

A. For the Cheese Bombs

• 1 can Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits (8 count, any flavor except sweet)

• 8 pieces mozzarella cheese cut into 1-inch cubes
  You can use mozzarella string cheese sticks cut into chunks — easier and mess-free.

B. For the Garlic Butter

• 6 tablespoons butter (not margarine)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced very finely

• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

C. Optional Garnishes

• Grated parmesan

• Fresh basil

• Extra melted butter

• Flaky sea salt

These ingredients are simple, but the secret is how they work together: a soft pillowy dough, an aromatic buttery glaze, and a gooey cheese core.

⭐ III. PREP & TECHNIQUE — THE KEY TO PERFECT CHEESE BOMBS

The beauty of this recipe is how forgiving it is. But if you want truly next-level cheese bombs — restaurant quality, with even browning and perfect melt — these techniques matter.

1. Start with cold cheese

Cold cheese melts more slowly and evenly, giving you that perfect cheese-pull without the cheese leaking out during baking.

2. Warm the biscuits slightly

Let the can of biscuits sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before shaping. This makes them easier to flatten and seal.

3. Seal the dough tightly

Poor sealing = cheese oozing out.
Good sealing = a perfectly round, balloon-like puff of soft biscuit dough.

Pull edges together and pinch firmly.

4. Brush garlic butter twice

• Once before baking

• Once immediately after

This gives them a glossy, flavorful crust.

5. Bake on parchment

Cheese bombs expand, and parchment keeps bottoms golden and prevents sticking.

⭐ IV. STEP-BY-STEP RECIPE

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Butter

In a small saucepan:

1. Melt butter over low-medium heat.

2. Add minced garlic.

3. Add parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

4. Let garlic sizzle very gently for 1 minute — not long enough to brown, just enough to release fragrance.

Turn off heat and let flavors infuse.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

1. Open the can of Pillsbury biscuits.

2. Separate the 8 biscuits.

3. With your hands, gently flatten each into a small circle about 4–5 inches wide.

Step 4: Fill with Cheese

Place a cube of mozzarella in the center of each flattened biscuit.

Fold the edges upward over the cheese and pinch all seams tightly to seal closed.

Roll each sealed ball slightly to smooth the surface.

Step 5: Brush with Garlic Butter

Place each cheese bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Brush tops and sides lightly with garlic butter.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 14–17 minutes, or until tops are puffed and golden brown.

Step 7: Brush Again

As soon as they emerge from the oven, brush generously with remaining garlic butter.

Optional: sprinkle parmesan on top while butter is still hot so it melts in.

There’s something universally joyful about a good cheese pull. It’s like the food equivalent of fireworks.

3. Garlic butter = craveable flavor

⭐ VIII. MISTAKES TO AVOID

Even though this recipe is easy, a few small mistakes can change the final texture.

❌ Overstuffing the cheese

Too much cheese → leaks everywhere.

❌ Not sealing seams

Pinch tight. If it’s not sealed, cheese escapes.

❌ Using low-moisture cheese incorrectly

Pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt as well as block mozzarella or string cheese.

❌ Overbaking

They dry out. Golden is perfect — dark brown is too far.

❌ Skipping the second butter brushing

That second brushing is what makes them glossy, soft, and crave-worthy.

⭐ IX. STORAGE & REHEATING

Though these are best fresh, they store surprisingly well.

Refrigeration

Store in a sealed container for 3–4 days.

Reheating Options:

• Air Fryer: 350°F for 3–4 minutes (best method).

• Oven: 300°F for 8–10 minutes.

• Microwave: Works, but softens the outer crust.

Freezing

You can freeze before baking:

• Assemble

• Freeze on a tray

• Transfer to freezer bag

• Bake from frozen + add 3–4 minutes cook time

---

⭐ X. PROFESSIONAL CHEF TIPS FOR NEXT-LEVEL RESULTS

1. Butter the baking sheet

A thin smear of butter creates caramelized golden bottoms.

2. Add parmesan to the butter

This makes a crispy, salty shell.

3. Use clarified butter or ghee

It doesn’t burn and keeps the tops glossy.

4. Use shredded mozzarella + a cube

This creates different layers of melt.

5. Play with herb flavors

Thyme, rosemary, basil — all amazing.

⭐ XI. A SHORT HISTORY OF BISCUIT “BOMBS”

Though cheese bombs feel modern, stuffed bread rolls go back centuries. Nearly every culture has a version:

• Italian: garlic knots

• Slavic: pirozhki

• Indian: stuffed kulcha

• American South: cheese-filled biscuits

What makes this version special is how Pillsbury streamlined the process. Canned biscuit dough brought bakery-style rising power into home kitchens, making stuffed rolls something anyone can prepare in minutes.

Today, the “cheese bomb” has hundreds of variations, but this classic — garlic, butter, herbs, and mozzarella — remains undefeated.
