Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Dough
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (16 ounces)
Cheese Filling
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into eight 1-inch square cubes
Butter Mixture
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with a Silpat mat or aluminum foil that has been sprayed with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cheese Filling: Cut mozzarella cheese into eight 1-inch square cubes. Take each biscuit dough piece, place a cheese cube in the center, then wrap the dough completely around the cheese, sealing the edges well. Arrange the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet seam side down to prevent leakage while baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed up and lightly golden brown on top, indicating they are cooked through.
- Make Butter Mixture: While the biscuits are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt until well combined to create a flavorful butter glaze.
- Finish and Serve: Once the biscuits are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops generously with the seasoned butter mixture. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the biscuits for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm to enjoy the melted cheese and buttery crust at its best.
Notes
- Make sure to seal the dough edges well to avoid cheese leaking during baking.
- Use fresh parsley for the garnish to add a fresh herbal note and vibrant color.
- You can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor.
- Serve these bread bites warm for best taste and gooey texture.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven to retain crispiness.
