Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your cheesy garlic butter bombs will bake evenly and turn golden brown.
Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Mix the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in minced garlic and Italian seasoning. The aroma should be heavenly — get ready for some serious flavor infusion!
Assemble the Bombs: Open the biscuit dough carefully and separate each biscuit. Flatten them slightly before placing about one tablespoon of shredded mozzarella in the center. Fold over the dough edges to create little packets.
Brush with Garlic Butter: Place each ball seam-side down on your baking sheet. Brush generously with your garlic butter mixture to ensure maximum flavor.
Bake to Perfection: Bake in your preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until they’re golden brown and puffed up beautifully. You’ll know they’re ready when your kitchen smells divine!
