Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz (85 g) mozzarella cheese in brick
- 1 tube biscuits (regular size, 10 count)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) salted butter, melted
- 2 tsps dry ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tsps garlic powder or 3 tsps minced garlic
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Cheese Preparation: Cube mozzarella into uniform 3/4-inch pieces to ensure consistent melting.
- Biscuit Filling: Delicately unfold each biscuit and center a mozzarella cube in the middle of each round.
- Sealing Process: Meticulously encase the cheese by folding and pinching biscuit edges, creating a seamless, sealed roll with no cheese exposure.
- Sheet Arrangement: Position the enclosed rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow proper expansion.
- Flavor Coating: Blend melted unsalted butter with minced garlic and Ranch seasoning mix, then liberally brush the aromatic mixture over each roll.
- Baking Stage: Roast in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes until achieving a rich, golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness.
- Final Touch: Remove from oven, brush with remaining butter mixture for enhanced flavor and glossy finish.
- Resting Period: Let garlic cheese bombs sit for 5 minutes to stabilize melted cheese and prevent potential burning.
- Serving Suggestion: Present warm with marinara sauce for an irresistible dipping experience.
Notes
- Precision Matters: Cut cheese cubes uniformly to ensure even melting and consistent texture across all bombs.
- Seal Carefully: Completely enclose cheese within biscuit dough, pinching edges tightly to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
- Watch Closely: Bake until golden brown, monitoring the 13-15 minute window to achieve perfect crispy exterior without burning.
- Flavor Boost: Apply butter mixture both before and after baking to enhance taste and create a glossy, appetizing finish.
