Irresistible Garlic Cheese Bites
My husband couldn’t get enough of these delightful bites, showering me with affection after devouring them!
Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 cubes
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half, forming 16 pieces.
- Flatten each piece of dough and place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center. Fold the dough over the cheese, pinching the edges to seal and form a ball.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
- Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the dough balls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Variations & Tips:
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or gouda for a unique twist. Add a slice of pepperoni or a bit of cooked bacon inside each dough ball for an extra layer of flavor. For a spicier version, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the garlic butter mixture.
