This Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs recipe comes together in about 20 minutes and uses just one baking sheet for a quick and easy weeknight meal that your family will love! I can’t wait for you to try it!
Ingredient Breakdown
Now, let’s talk about what you’ll need to whip up these incredible bites of joy!
- (1) 16 oz container of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits): I’m all about the convenience here! This saves you time and labor, so I never skip on store-bought when I can get such a delightful base.
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese (soft, shredded or diced string cheese): Cheese is the star of the show! It gets all melty and gooey, and let’s just say my kids would eat it every day if they could!
- 4 tbsp melted butter (half a stick): Butter is life, right? It adds that creamy richness and flavor that ties everything together. Just be sure to let it melt before brushing!
- 1 tsp garlic powder: Garlic lovers, unite! This is going to infuse the whole cheese bomb with flavor, mmm!
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning: This brings a lovely herbaceous note, use your favorite blend here!
- A couple pinches of salt: This little addition rounds everything out, so don’t skip it!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Alright, let’s dive into the fun part, making these cheesy bombs of goodness!
- Preheat Your Oven: First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and toasty by the time your cheese bombs are ready for their big moment!
- Prep Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. We want to avoid any sticky situations here!
- Separate the Biscuits: Open up that container of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. It’s like a mini presents unwrapping moment, right?
- Flatten Those Biscuits: Go ahead and flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circle. I like to use my hands, there’s something satisfying about squishing dough, don’t you think?
- Cheese Time: Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit dough circle. Feel free to be generous, go big or go home!
- Seal the Cheese: Fold the edges of the dough up and around the cheese, pinching to seal and form a ball. Make sure it’s sealed well, or you might have a cheesy explosion in the oven!
- Arrange Them: Place your cheese-filled biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. They’re looking good already!
- Brush with Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good mix, then brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with the seasoned butter mixture. This is where the magic happens!
- Bake and Enjoy: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling away. Oh boy, is that aroma incredible!
- Serve and Love: Serve the garlic butter cheese bombs warm right out of the oven. Enjoy them on their own, or pair them with a dipping sauce of your choice, marinara is always a hit in my house!

Serving and Storage Tips
How to Serve This Dish
These garlic butter cheese bombs are fantastic on their own, but they pair beautifully with a side salad or a dish of marinara for dipping. You can also serve them as an appetizer at parties, you know, if they last that long!
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Honestly, I’m not sure how long they’ll stay fresh because they rarely make it that far in my house!
Reheating Instructions
To reheat, pop them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warm. You could microwave them, but they won’t have that delicious crispiness you’re looking for.
Freezer Friendly? Yes!
If you want to make these ahead of time, freeze them right after you assemble but before baking. Just wrap them tightly and when you’re ready to enjoy, bake them straight from frozen, adding a couple extra minutes to the baking time.
