Ingredients

For the Bombs:

  • 1 can Pillsbury reduced-fat biscuit dough (10-count)
  • 5 mozzarella cheese sticks, cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon light butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Optional Topping:

  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (light or reduced-fat)

Instructions

Preheat & Prep:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.

Assemble the Cheese Bombs:

  • Flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
  • Place one piece of cheese stick in the center of each dough circle.
  • Fold the dough around the cheese, pinching tightly to seal the edges.
  • Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Add Garlic Butter:

  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder.
  • Brush the tops of the cheese bombs with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Sprinkle with dried parsley and optional parmesan if using.

Bake to Golden Perfection:

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving—careful, the cheese will be hot!
