Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 8 oz cheddar cheese, cut into 8 cubes
- 4 oz cream cheese, cut into 8 pieces
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Add Filling:
- Place one cube of cheddar cheese and one piece of cream cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Sprinkle some crumbled bacon on top of the cheese.
- Seal the Biscuits:
- Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching the seams together to seal.
- Gently roll the sealed biscuit in your hands to form a smooth ball.
- Place the sealed side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Butter Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, dried parsley, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs generously with the seasoned butter mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuit bombs cool for a few minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed warm, with the cheese inside still melty and delicious.
