Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Refrigerated biscuit dough
Mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
Melted butter
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece into a small circle and place a cube of mozzarella in the center.
Carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges tightly to seal. Roll gently into a smooth ball shape. Make sure there are no openings so the cheese stays inside while baking.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Dip each dough ball into the butter mixture, coating evenly.
Place the coated bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked.
Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm for that perfect gooey cheese pull.

Variations
Add a small spoonful of marinara sauce inside each bomb for a pizza-style twist.
Use cheddar, pepper jack, or provolone instead of mozzarella for different flavors.
Mix red pepper flakes into the butter for a spicy kick.
Brush with extra garlic butter right after baking for even more richness.
Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning for a fun flavor variation.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F until warmed through to keep them crispy. Microwaving works, but the exterior will be softer.
These are best enjoyed fresh but can be frozen after baking for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven until hot and melty.
