Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 can (16.3 oz) large refrigerated biscuits such as Pillsbury Grands!
8 1-inch cubes low-moisture mozzarella cheese
4 tbsp salted butter melted
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

1 9-inch pie plate or baking dish
1 Small Bowl

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Separate the 8 biscuits. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands until it’s about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the seams together firmly to create a sealed ball. Place the dough balls seam-side down into a 9-inch pie plate.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the dough balls. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Brush with remaining butter if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Seal Them Tight: Really focus on pinching those seams. If there are any gaps, the delicious cheese will escape during baking.
Use Low-Moisture Mozzarella: Fresh mozzarella has too much water and can make your dough soggy. Stick to the block-style, low-moisture kind for the best results.
