Next, open your can of Pillsbury biscuits (there’s definitely a satisfying pop as you break the seal!), and separate each biscuit. Flatten the biscuits slightly, add a generous tablespoon of cheese in the center of each, and then wrap them up tightly, pinching the dough to seal in that cheesy goodness. Place each cheese bomb seam-side down on your baking sheet.
Once you’ve got them all arranged, brush each biscuit with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to get every nook and cranny. I often find myself drizzling a little extra on top because, let’s be honest, you can never have too much garlic butter! Bake these lovely cheese bombs for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is oozing out.
When they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes—this is the hardest part! The anticipation is real, but trust me, that first bite will be worth the wait!
Pro Tips for Best Results
I’ve tested this recipe three ways: using different types of cheeses, varying the herb combinations, and even playing around with spices. My favorite combo has to be sharp cheddar balanced with fresh parsley—it adds such a vibrant flavor!
If you want to amp up the flavor, consider mixing Italian seasoning into your butter blend. Just a pinch can elevate these cheesy bites from good to spectacular. It’s a small tweak, but it makes a world of difference!
One last tip: be generous with the butter mixture! You want the biscuits to soak up all that garlicky goodness for the ultimate flavor explosion when you take a bite.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One common mistake I made the first time I tried this recipe was not sealing the biscuits tightly enough. I ended up with a cheesy mess on my baking sheet! Make sure to pinch the edges well so that your cheese bomb stays intact and the gooey goodness doesn’t escape. (See the next page below to continue…)
Another thing to watch out for is overbaking. Trust your nose! The moment you smell that mouthwatering aroma and see a golden-brown color, it’s time to take them out. If you let them sit too long, they can become dry, and we definitely don’t want that.
Also, be careful not to overcrowd your baking sheet. Leaving a little space between each cheese bomb allows them to puff up beautifully and get that perfect golden crust.
Finally, remember that every oven is different. If this is your first time making these smart little bites, keep an eye on them to find the perfect baking time for your oven.
