Garlic Cheese Bombs

I came across cheese bombs like these on Pinterest some time ago and was intrigued, so I went in search of a recipe. However, all the recipes I found called for pre-made biscuit dough, which I couldn’t find in local grocery stores. Determined to try them anyway, I decided to make them from scratch. I already had a fantastic recipe for cheddar biscuits, so I used it to whip up these incredible Garlic Cheese Bombs, and they turned out wonderfully. This time, I used Mozzarella cheese, but I’m confident that Cheddar cheese would work just as well.

These garlic cheese bombs are easy to prepare even if you make everything from scratch. It should not take you more than 20 minutes to have this prepared and placed in the oven. They are soft and flaky and that gooey cheese inside is worth all the effort. As holidays are knocking on our doors this recipe might be a great appetizer for this special time of the year.

How to make Garlic Cheese Bombs

Begin by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Next, in a medium-large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder. Add the butter cubes, and using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter until the pieces are no bigger than peas. Incorporate the cold buttermilk and knead gently to bring it together. Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the Mozzarella into 18 pieces. Dust the working surface with flour and roll the dough into a 12×15 inch (30x40cm) rectangle. Cut it into 18 pieces.

Place a piece of cheese in the middle of each piece of dough and wrap the dough around the cheese, making sure the edges are well sealed. Roll each into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for about 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

While they bake, prepare the butter mixture. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add garlic, parsley, and salt, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Brush the tops of the cheese bombs with the butter mixture and serve hot.
