Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare for Baking

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate biscuits and cut cheese into cubes.

Assemble Cheese Bombs

Flatten each biscuit slightly. Place cheese cube in center. Carefully wrap dough around cheese, pinching edges to seal completely. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.

Make Garlic Butter

Combine melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt in small bowl. Set aside.

Bake and Finish

Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Immediately brush with garlic-herb butter. Serve while cheese is hot and melty.

Pro Tips for Success

Seal edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking. Don't overbake or cheese will become too hard. Let cool slightly before eating to prevent burns. Use cold cheese cubes for easier wrapping. Make garlic butter while bombs bake for perfect timing.

Best served fresh from oven. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 4 hours before baking. Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to restore cheese's melty texture. Not recommended for freezing.
