Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Refrigerated Biscuits: Store-bought biscuits save time. Use flaky ones for maximum fluffiness.
Shredded Cheese: Mozzarella works best for its gooey meltiness; feel free to mix in other cheeses too.
Garlic Powder: For that essential kick; fresh minced garlic can be used for extra flavor.
Unsalted Butter: Melting butter helps the flavors shine; use unsalted to control the overall saltiness.
Parsley Flakes: A sprinkle adds freshness; dried parsley works great if fresh isn’t available.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking while baking.

Prepare the Biscuits: Open the tube of refrigerated biscuits carefully—watch out for that pop! Divide each biscuit into two pieces for an extra cheesy experience.

Add the Cheese: Take a piece of biscuit dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a generous spoonful of shredded cheese in the center. Fold up the edges to create a ball shape.

Melt the Magic: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until bubbly. Stir in garlic powder and parsley flakes until combined.

Coat the Dough Balls: Dip each cheese-filled dough ball into the melted garlic butter mixture until fully coated. The more butter, the better!

Bake Them Up!: Arrange all dough balls on your prepared baking sheet with some space between them. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Serve hot from the oven! The aroma will draw everyone into the kitchen like moths to a flame. Watch as they disappear faster than you can say “Cheesy Garlic Butter Bombs!”
