Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  3. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic. Stir well to combine.
  4. Coat the Biscuits: Dip each biscuit piece into the garlic butter mixture, making sure it’s well coated. Place the coated biscuit pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of each biscuit piece.
  6. Bake the Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  • Cooking time: 10-12 minutes
  • Total time: 20-22 minutes
  • Servings: 4

These cheesy, garlicky delights make 4 servings, perfect for sharing as an appetizer or a quick side dish.

Variations

  • Herbed Cheese Bombs: Add some fresh or dried herbs like oregano, basil, or thyme to the garlic butter mixture for extra flavor.
  • Spicy Cheese Bombs: For a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some finely chopped jalapeños to the garlic butter.
  • Different Cheese: While shredded cheddar works great, you can also use mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a blend of cheeses for more variety.
  • Parmesan Topping: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the biscuits just before baking to give them a savory, cheesy crust.

Storage/Reheating

  • Storage: Leftover garlic butter cheese bombs can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: To reheat, simply place them back in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to warm them up. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 20-30 seconds, though they may lose some of their crispiness.
  • Freezing: These cheese bombs can be frozen before baking. To freeze, place the coated biscuit pieces on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, no need to thaw—just add an extra 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
