Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (10 pieces, Country Style recommended)
- 20 cubes cheddar cheese (1.27 cm x 1.91 cm x 1.91 cm, approximately 4 oz)
- ⅓ cup (80 mL) parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsps (45 mL) butter
- 2 tsp (10 mL) dried parsley
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating an ideal surface for baking.
- Dough Transformation: Slice refrigerated biscuits in half, rolling each into a thin circle, preparing them for cheese-filled magic.
- Cheese Encasing: Center a cheddar cheese cube on each biscuit round, meticulously folding and sealing the dough to create a complete cheese-filled package.
- Flavor Coating: Whisk melted butter with minced garlic, then blend fresh parsley and parmesan in a separate dish to create a zesty exterior coating.
- Assembly: Immerse each cheese-stuffed dough ball into the garlic butter, then roll thoroughly in the herb-cheese mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Baking Process: Arrange coated biscuit balls on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing for even heat distribution.
- Finishing Touch: Bake for 10-12 minutes, monitoring until the exterior achieves a perfectly golden-brown hue, signaling their delectable readiness.
Notes
- Cheese Sealing Technique: Ensure edges are completely sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during baking, using gentle pinching motions to close any potential openings.
- Butter Coating Pro Tip: Warm garlic butter helps create a rich, aromatic flavor and promotes even browning of the biscuit exterior.
- Parsley-Parmesan Trick: Roll biscuits immediately after butter coating to help the herb-cheese mixture adhere perfectly and create a crispy, flavorful crust.
- Baking Precision: Watch biscuits closely during final minutes of baking to achieve a golden-brown color without overcooking, as each oven varies slightly in temperature and performance.
