Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Dough and Finishing
- 1 sheet puff pastry or equivalent biscuit dough, rolled out to 1/4 inch thickness
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, diced onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed and set aside to marinate while you prepare the dough.
- Roll Out and Cut Dough: Roll out your puff pastry or biscuit dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into squares roughly 3×3 inches, the perfect size to enclose each cheeseburger bomb.
- Assemble the Bombs: Place a small scoop of the beef mixture in the center of each dough square. Add a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the beef before carefully folding the dough over and sealing the edges by pinching or crimping.
- Brush with Egg Wash and Bake: Lay the bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush each bomb with the egg wash to ensure a beautiful golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Once out of the oven, let the Delicious Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs cool for a few minutes before serving so the cheese doesn’t burn your mouth but stays perfectly gooey.
Notes
- Use room temperature dough to prevent tearing and help the pastry roll out smoothly.
- Don’t overfill the bombs; leave enough space to seal the edges properly and avoid leaks.
- Seal edges tightly with water or egg wash to prevent them from opening during baking.
- Allow bombs to cool slightly before serving for the best cheesy texture and to avoid burns.
- Adjust seasoning by tasting the beef mixture before assembling to ensure balanced salt and pepper.
