Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 block mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• Marinara sauce, for dipping

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Flatten each biscuit into a round shape and place a cube of mozzarella in the center. Fold the dough around the cheese and pinch the edges together to seal tightly, ensuring the cheese stays inside.
3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush the butter mixture generously over each biscuit bomb.
4. Place the prepared biscuit bombs on the lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
