Let’s get started!

Why Garlic Cheese Bombs Will Change Your Snack Game Forever

Cheese-pocalypse inside: Imagine pulling apart a fluffy dough ball to find molten mozzarella oozing out, coated in garlic butter. Yes, it’s real.

What You’ll Need to Make Garlic Cheese Bombs

(Makes 12 bombs, but you’ll wish you doubled it!)

Ingredients for Garlic Cheese Bombs Dough

  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, the flaky kind works best!)
  • ½ cup melted butter (salted for richness, unsalted if you’re watching sodium)
  • 5–6 garlic cloves, minced (or 1.5 tsp garlic powder in a pinch)
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (for that “fancy restaurant” vibe)
  • ½ tsp salt (balances the butter and cheese)

Ingredients for Garlic Cheese Bombs Filling

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (low-moisture = less leakage!)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan (the salty, nutty flavor booster)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional, but adds herby magic)

Optional Add-Ins for Garlic Cheese Bombs

  • Crispy bacon bits (because bacon makes everything better)
  • Chopped jalapeños (for a spicy surprise)
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary or basil for freshness)

How to Make Garlic Cheese Bombs (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 – Prep the Garlic Butter Sauce

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (15–20 seconds).
  2. Stir in minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Sniff deeply—this is your moment.
  3. Set aside 2 tbsp of the garlic butter for brushing later.

Step 2 – Stuff the Bombs Like a Pro

  1. Pop open the biscuit dough and separate the pieces.
  2. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle (use your palms—no rolling pin needed!).
  3. Sprinkle 1 tbsp mozzarella, a pinch of Parmesan, and a dash of Italian seasoning in the center.
  4. Fold the dough over the filling, pinch the edges tightly, and roll into a smooth ball. No cheese escapes allowed!

Step 3 – Butter Bath & Bake

  1. Dip each bomb into the garlic butter, coating it completely.
  2. Arrange them in a greased 9×13 baking dish, seam-side down.
  3. Drizzle all the leftover garlic butter over the top. (No shame here!)

Bake to Golden, Gooey Glory

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake for 15–18 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  3. Brush the reserved garlic butter over the hot bombs right after baking. Glossy perfection!
  4. Let them cool for 5 minutes—unless you enjoy third-degree cheese burns.

Pro Tips for Garlic Cheese Bomb Mastery

  • Freeze for later: Assemble unbaked bombs, freeze on a tray, then store in a bag. Bake frozen (+3–5 minutes).
  • Crispy hack: Sprinkle garlic powder on top before baking for extra crunch.
  • Cheese insurance: Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with the mozzarella to prevent leakage.
  • Air fryer magic: Cook at 370°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes—no preheating needed!

FAQ – All Your Garlic Cheese Bomb Questions, Solved

Can I use homemade dough instead of canned biscuits?
Absolutely! Use pizza dough or a basic 2-ingredient dough (Greek yogurt + flour). Bake time may vary.

Why did my bombs explode in the oven?
Overstuffing! Stick to 1 tbsp filling and seal the edges tightly.

Can I make these vegan?
Yes! Use vegan butter, dairy-free mozzarella, and skip the Parmesan.

How do I reheat leftovers?
Microwave for 15 seconds or toast in the air fryer for 3 minutes.

Can I add meat to the filling?
Totally! Cooked sausage, pepperoni, or ham bits work great.

Why are my bombs soggy?
Too much butter! Use a pastry brush to coat lightly instead of dunking.

Serving Ideas for Garlic Cheese Bombs

  • Dip dynasty: Pair with marinara, ranch, sriracha mayo, or garlic aioli.
  • Brunch star: Serve alongside scrambled eggs and crispy bacon.
  • Soup’s BFF: Dunk them into tomato soup or creamy broccoli cheddar.
  • Charcuterie upgrade: Add to a board with olives, cured meats, and grapes.

Healthier Swaps (For Guilt-Free Devouring)

  • Low-fat cheese: Use part-skim mozzarella and reduced-fat Parmesan.
  • Olive oil: Replace half the butter with olive oil for a lighter sauce.
  • Whole wheat dough: Opt for whole-grain biscuit dough or homemade whole wheat dough.

My Biggest Garlic Cheese Bomb Disaster

I once used “garlic-infused” coconut oil instead of butter. The bombs tasted like sunscreen. Stick to real butter, people! 🧈
