Step-by-Step Guide to Easy Garlic Cheese Bombs
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
Cube the mozzarella and wrap each piece in a biscuit, pinching seams tightly to seal. Brush all sides with melted butter mixed with Ranch seasoning and garlic.
Bake until tops turn golden brown, about 13–15 minutes, then brush again with any remaining butter.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm alongside your favorite dip.
Pro Tips for Next-Level Cheesy Bites
Brick vs. Shredded: Cubing fresh brick mozzarella gives a creamier pull than pre-shredded.
Biscuit Hack: Let refrigerated dough sit 5 minutes at room temperature for easier sealing.
Garlic Upgrade: Swap garlic powder for one clove of finely grated fresh garlic for an extra punch.
Butter Variety: Try melted herb-garlic compound butter or a touch of chili oil in the mix for a flavor twist.
Serving Suggestions
Dipping Sauce: Mix one packet of ranch seasoning into crushed tomatoes, plus salt & pepperinstant “pink” sauce.
Plating: Serve straight from a mini cast-iron skillet lined with fresh basil leaves.
Sides: Pair with a crisp green salad or a bowl of spicy tomato soup for a more substantial snack spread.
