Ingredients

Scale

For the Biscuit Bombs:

1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough)
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes or use string cheese pieces
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little spice)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

For Dipping (Optional):

Marinara sauce
Garlic butter dip
Ranch dressing
Sriracha mayo

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using an air fryer, set it to 360°F (182°C).
Separate the biscuit dough and gently flatten each piece into a 2-3 inch round.

Step 2: Fill & Seal the Biscuits

Place one cube of mozzarella (or half a string cheese stick) in the center of each dough round.
Bring the edges of the dough together and pinch to seal completely.
Roll the sealed dough ball gently between your hands to ensure no gaps.

Step 3: Bake the Biscuit Bombs

Place the sealed biscuit bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased cast-iron skillet.
Brush the tops with melted butter for extra crispiness.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.

Step 4: Add Finishing Touches

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Brush the hot biscuit bombs with the butter mixture as soon as they come out of the oven.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Make-Ahead Tip: You can assemble the biscuit bombs and refrigerate them up to 24 hours before baking.
Freezing Instructions: Freeze unbaked biscuit bombs on a tray for 1 hour, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 3-5 extra minutes.
Air Fryer Alternative: Air fry at 360°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
Cheese Variations: Try cheddar, provolone, or gouda for different flavors.
