- Place 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit and fold to seal, forming a ball.

How to Serve Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
Serve these cheese bombs warm, straight from the oven. They are delicious on their own, but you can also pair them with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy them as a snack, appetizer, or side dish with your favorite meals.
How to Store Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
If you have leftovers (though they’ll be hard to resist!), let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze uncooked cheese bombs. Just follow the recipe up to the baking step, freeze them on a baking sheet, and then transfer to a freezer bag for later use.
Tips to Make Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
- Make sure to seal the biscuits well to keep the cheese from leaking out.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella blends, for variety.
- Fresh garlic gives the best flavor, but you can use garlic powder if you don’t have fresh on hand.
Variations
Try adding cooked spinach, crumbled bacon, or pepperoni inside the cheese bombs for different flavors. You can also switch up the herbs by using basil or oregano instead of parsley.
FAQs
1. Can I use other types of cheese?
Yes! You can use any cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a cheese blend would work great.
2. How do I reheat leftover cheese bombs?
To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 30 seconds if you’re in a hurry.
3. Can I make these cheese bombs ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare them in advance, store them in the fridge, and bake them just before serving for fresh, warm bombs. Alternatively, you can freeze them unbaked and cook them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
