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:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half, forming 16 pieces.
3. 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.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
5. Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the dough balls.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
8. 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.
