Mozzarella-Stuffed Biscuit Bombs

These cheesy, buttery biscuit bombs are the perfect snack or appetizer. They feature a delicious surprise of melted mozzarella cheese in the center, with a golden, garlicky crust.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 12 small pieces of mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  • Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  1. Cut in the Butter:
  • Add the cold, cut butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  1. Add the Buttermilk:
  • Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the dough forms.
  1. Prepare the Dough:
  • Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
  • Flatten the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick and cut it into 12 equal squares.
  1. Stuff with Cheese:
  • Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each square. Fold the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges together to seal the dough completely.
  1. Bake:
  • Arrange the biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder on top.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
  1. Finish with Butter and Herbs:
  • Once baked, brush the biscuits with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.
  1. Serve:
  • Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!

Variations and Tips:

  • Cheese Variations: Try cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor.
  • Add-ins: Add cooked bacon or a teaspoon of your favorite jam for a sweet and savory twist.
  • Spice it up: Mix red pepper flakes with the garlic powder for a little kick.
  • Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with 1 cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Enjoy these delicious biscuit bombs!
