#### **Instructions**:
1. **Preheat the Oven**:
Start by preheating your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. This is the perfect temperature for baking the biscuits so that they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside.
2. **Prepare the Biscuits**:
Open the can of Pillsbury refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Gently flatten each biscuit using your hands or a rolling pin to form a round shape, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Make sure not to flatten them too thin, as you want them to hold the cheese filling inside.
3. **Add the Cheese**:
Place a small handful (about 1-2 tablespoons) of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. You can also experiment with other cheeses like cheddar, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack, depending on your taste preference.
4. **Form the Bombs**:
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese, pinching them together at the top to seal the cheese inside. Make sure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent the cheese from spilling out during baking. You should now have little dough balls filled with cheese—your “bombs.”
5. **Prepare the Garlic Butter**:
In a small bowl, melt the **unsalted butter** in the microwave or on the stovetop. Once melted, stir in the **minced garlic** and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. You can also add dried parsley to the garlic butter for added flavor and color.
6. **Coat the Cheese Bombs**:
Carefully dip each cheese-filled biscuit into the garlic butter mixture, making sure the entire surface of the dough is coated in the buttery goodness. You can also brush the garlic butter onto the dough if you prefer not to dip.
7. **Bake the Bombs**:
Place the garlic butter-coated cheese bombs onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange them close together but not touching. This will allow them to bake evenly and form a delicious golden crust. Bake the bombs in the preheated oven for about **12-15 minutes**, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
8. **Garnish and Serve**:
Once the cheese bombs are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, you can brush them with a little more garlic butter and sprinkle some additional parsley on top for garnish. Serve these warm and watch them disappear!
### **Tips for Perfecting Pillsbury Biscuit Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs**
To ensure your cheese bombs turn out perfect every time, here are a few helpful tips:
1. **Use Fresh Ingredients**: The quality of your garlic and cheese will impact the flavor of the final dish. Freshly minced garlic and high-quality cheese will give your cheese bombs a richer, more flavorful taste.
2. **Don’t Overstuff the Biscuits**: While it’s tempting to pack the cheese in, be careful not to overstuff the biscuits. If the cheese overflows, it may create a mess in the oven. Stick to about 1-2 tablespoons of cheese per biscuit.
3. **Customize the Cheese**: While mozzarella is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with other cheeses such as sharp cheddar, gouda, or a blend of cheeses for a unique flavor profile. A mixture of cheeses will add depth to the dish.
4. **Add Extra Seasonings**: If you like extra flavor, consider adding more seasonings like onion powder, Italian seasoning, or even a dash of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
5. **Serve Immediately**: These cheese bombs are best enjoyed right out of the oven while they are warm and gooey. They can be reheated, but the texture will be best when fresh.
