Choosing the Right Cheese
The type of cheese you use is crucial for flavor and texture. Here’s how to pick the best cheeses for your Garlic Cheese Bombs:
Best Cheeses for This Recipe
- Mozzarella: A classic for its melty and stretchy texture.
- Cheddar: Adds sharpness and depth of flavor.
- Parmesan: A finishing touch for a salty, umami kick.
Buying tips: Always go for block cheese rather than pre-shredded cheese for the best melt and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can affect the texture.
Ingredients and Preparation
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Garlic (minced) | 2 cloves |
| Mozzarella cheese (shredded) | 1 cup |
| Cheddar cheese (shredded) | 1 cup |
| Parmesan cheese (grated) | 1/4 cup |
| Biscuit dough (canned or homemade) | 1 can (8 pieces) |
| Butter (melted) | 3 tbsp |
| Parsley (chopped) | 2 tbsp |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |
| Black pepper | 1/4 tsp |
Preparation Steps
Meat preparation basics: While this recipe doesn’t include meat, you can add cooked chicken or bacon bits to make it heartier. If you’re making your own biscuit dough, be sure to let it rise for at least 30 minutes to achieve the perfect texture.
Marinades/rubs: For extra flavor, brush the dough with a garlic butter mixture (melted butter, garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt) before baking.
How to Make Garlic Cheese Bombs
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the dough: If you’re using store-bought biscuit dough, separate the biscuits. If using homemade dough, roll it out and cut into small pieces (about 2 inches in diameter).
- Stuff the dough: Place a small amount of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese in the center of each dough piece. Add a pinch of garlic and fold the dough around the cheese, sealing the edges tightly.
- Bake: Place the stuffed dough bombs on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: Brush the freshly baked bombs with melted garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.
Cooking Tips for Perfect Garlic Cheese Bombs
- Don’t overfill the dough: You want enough cheese to melt inside, but not so much that the dough can’t seal properly.
- Brush with garlic butter: This will give your cheese bombs a glossy, flavorful finish.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic offers a stronger flavor than garlic powder, making your garlic cheese bombs more aromatic.

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! Prepare the cheese bombs and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before baking. Simply pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve.
