Description
Golden, fluffy biscuit bites stuffed with gooey melted mozzarella and brushed with garlic herb butter. These quick and comforting bites are perfect for parties, snacks, or an easy family treat.
Ingredients
- For the biscuit base:
- 1 can (16.3 oz / 462 g) refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- For the filling:
- 8 oz (226 g) fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 cubes (about 1 oz each)
- For the garlic butter coating:
- 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- For topping:
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- For serving (optional):
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round using your hands or the bottom of a glass.
- Place one cube of mozzarella in the center of each round. Fold dough around cheese, pinch seams tightly to seal, and roll into a smooth ball.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and salt.
- Brush each dough ball generously with the garlic butter mixture and place seam-side down on the baking tray, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly over the tops.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until deep golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Let rest for 3–5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm with marinara sauce if desired.
Notes
- Seal dough tightly to prevent cheese leakage.
- Cubes of mozzarella melt better than shredded cheese.
- Bake on center rack for even browning.
- Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours.
- Freeze unbaked stuffed balls for up to 3 months.
