Fall for these super cheesy mozzarella biscuit puffs that come together in a flash with only a few basic items and a swipe of garlicky butter. Think a buttery biscuit hugging stretchy mozzarella all wrapped up, with that mouth watering pizza shop smell. You need a party starter or just want a fun bite for movie night? These will be gone before you know it.

Watching that gooey cheese stretch out is honestly the highlight. I first whipped these up for a game night and now they're always the first thing my friends want me to bring.

Irresistible Ingredients

  • Fresh parsley: Gives you a pop of color and herby vibes Flat leaf packs more flavor than curly
  • Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits: Grab an eight pack for instant flaky biscuits Make sure your can isn’t beat up
  • Sea salt: Keeps everything from being too rich Use fine grain so it melts nicely
  • Mozzarella string cheese: Melts perfectly and is super easy to stuff Whole milk mozzarella is best for top notch stretchiness
  • Fresh garlic: Adds a punch to your garlic glaze Find firm cloves for the best taste
  • Unsalted butter: Makes your glaze rich and soaks up those garlic flavors Get high quality butter if you can

Step-by-Step Instructions

Finish and Serve
After pulling them out, brush with leftover garlic butter. Dig in while they're warm—this is when the cheese is wildly gooey.
Glaze and Bake
Coat each dough ball with loads of garlic butter, pop the sheet in the oven, then bake for eight to ten minutes until they’re puffy and golden brown.
Stuff the Biscuits
Chop mozzarella sticks into even pieces, place a couple bits in the middle of each dough circle, wrap it up making sure to pinch the seams, then lay seam side down on your tray.
Make the Garlic Butter
Toss butter, garlic, parsley, and some salt in a small bowl, stir all together until it’s mixed up. This flavors and gives your biscuits a glossy finish.
Flatten the Biscuits
Crack open the can, peel apart the biscuits, and split every biscuit in half. Roll or squish each out to a quarter inch, keeping them roundish.
Preheat the Oven
Fire up your oven to four hundred degrees Fahrenheit, give it time to get nice and hot so your biscuits rise and crisp just right.

→ What other cheeses work well?

Feel free to swap in cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix of cheeses for fresh flavor choices inside the biscuit bombs.

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks, sliced into 8 pieces each
02 1 pack (8 biscuits) Pillsbury Grands buttermilk dough

→ Garlic Butter

03 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
04 Pinch of fine sea salt for seasoning
05 4 tablespoons melted, unsalted butter
06 1 tablespoon garlic, minced finely

Steps

Step 01

Preheat your oven to 400°F so it’s ready to go when you are.

Step 02

Open the biscuit package, then carefully split each piece into two. Flatten them using your hands or a rolling pin until they’re about a quarter-inch thick, keeping the shape nice and round.

Step 03

In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, parsley, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. This will act as both flavor and a glaze.

Step 04

Place two bits of mozzarella in the middle of each flattened dough circle. Wrap the dough around the cheese completely, pinch the edges to seal, and set them seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Step 05

Generously coat each cheese-filled dough ball with the butter mixture using your pastry brush, then bake on the sheet for 8–10 minutes, or until they turn golden.

Step 06

Right after taking them out of the oven, brush any leftover garlic butter over the hot biscuits for extra yumminess. Serve warm so the cheese stays gooey.

Notes and Tips

  1. Use a light-colored tray to avoid browning too much.
  2. Best eaten fresh while the cheese is still soft.
