Description

Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are crispy, golden-baked bite-sized snacks bursting with buttery garlic flavor and gooey melted cheese inside, perfect for game day, parties, or quick savory treats. Easy to make with simple ingredients, these customizable cheese bombs combine flaky crescent roll dough, aromatic garlic butter, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese for an irresistible appetizer loved by all.

Ingredients

Dough

  • Pillsbury Crescent Roll Dough (1 package)

Filling

  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (about 1 to 1 ½ cups)

Garlic Butter Coating

  • Butter (¼ cup, melted)
  • Fresh Minced Garlic (2 cloves)
  • Salt (¼ tsp)
  • Black Pepper (¼ tsp)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Grated Parmesan Cheese (2 tbsp)
  • Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and gently press the perforations together to create one solid sheet.
  2. Add Cheese Filling: Slice the dough into small squares or rectangles. Place a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each piece.
  3. Form the Bombs: Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges tightly to seal the cheese completely inside, forming small bite-sized balls.
  4. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in fresh minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
  5. Coat and Bake: Brush each sealed dough ball generously with the garlic butter. Place them on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: After baking, brush the bombs again with any remaining garlic butter, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm to enjoy the gooey cheese inside.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic rather than garlic powder for a vibrant flavor.
  • Pinch dough seams tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • Do not overfill the bombs with cheese to maintain their shape and ensure even cooking.
  • Brush garlic butter thoroughly both before and after baking to maximize flavor and crispiness.
  • Keep an eye on baking time to achieve a golden, crispy crust without burning.
