These Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs are where convenience meets comfort food, and they are so easy to whip up that I find myself making them again and again.
Every time I prepare these cheesy delights, they bring back memories of cozy family gatherings where cheesy goodness ruled the table. My uncle Bob would always hover around the kitchen, trying to snag the first bomb fresh out of the oven, and I’d swear he pulled a muscle from rushing to grab one! So whether you’re looking for a quick snack or a crowd-pleasing appetizer, these biscuit bombs are definitely going to steal the show.
What’s in Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs?
Refrigerator Biscuits: The unsung hero of this recipe! These store-bought biscuits are incredibly convenient and help create that wonderful fluffiness while baking. I usually go for the buttermilk variety for a richer flavor.
Mozzarella Cheese: This oozy cheese is the star of the show! Look for fresh mozzarella or even string cheese if that’s what you have on hand. Either way, you’ll enjoy that satisfying stretch when you take a bite!
Marinara Sauce: For dipping! A warm marinara sauce complements the flavor of the cheesy bombs perfectly. I often use a jar of my favorite store-bought variety, but if you’re feeling fancy, homemade is always a hit!
Is Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs Good for You?
While delicious, these biscuit bombs should definitely be enjoyed as a treat, not a mainstay in your diet.
Refrigerator Biscuits: They’re quick and easy, but many brands contain preservatives and a fair amount of sodium. It’s lovely to grab them when in a pinch, just keep an eye on the nutrition label.
Mozzarella Cheese: On the bright side, mozzarella provides a good source of protein and calcium. Plus, it’s a lower-fat cheese option if you’re looking to indulge just a little less guilty!
So, enjoy these gooey snacks with moderation in mind, and they’ll be the perfect little guilty pleasure!
Ingredients List
– 1 can of refrigerated biscuits (about 8 biscuits)
– 8 pieces of mozzarella cheese (string cheese works well)
– Marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)
This recipe yields approximately 8 servings, depending on how generous you are with each biscuit!
How to Make Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs?
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Take each refrigerated biscuit and flatten it out on a clean surface with your hands or a rolling pin. You want them to be about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit.
4. Carefully fold the biscuit over the cheese, pinching the edges to seal it tightly—make sure no cheese is peeking out!
5. Place the sealed biscuit bombs onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
6. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
7. While they’re baking, heat your marinara sauce in a small pot or microwave.
8. Once they are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping—and watch out for that oozy cheese when you take a bite!
Cheesy Tips and Variations!
– If you want to jazz it up, consider adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the biscuits before sealing for an extra flavor boost.
– You can also stuff these bombs with other cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack if you crave a little spice.
– If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in a slice of pepperoni or a bit of cooked sausage for a mini pizza twist!
I just can’t resist enjoying these Gooey Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs on movie nights or relaxed weekends. I encourage you to give this recipe a whirl and let that cheesy goodness amaze you! And honestly, share your experiences or twist on the recipe—I’d love to hear all about the deliciousness you create!
