Absolutely! Here’s a delicious, easy-to-follow garlic butter cheese bombs recipe that comes out golden, cheesy, and irresistible.
Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
Ingredients (makes ~12 bombs)
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, basil, thyme)
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Set aside. - Roll Dough & Add Cheese:
- Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle or circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the dough into squares (about 2–3 inches each).
- Place a generous pinch of shredded cheese in the center of each square.
- Form Bombs:
- Gather the corners of the dough over the cheese and pinch tightly to seal.
- Make sure no cheese is exposed, or it will leak out.
- Brush with Garlic Butter:
- Place the sealed bombs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with half of the garlic butter mixture.
- Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the bombs are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside. - Finish with Garlic Butter & Parsley:
- As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the remaining garlic butter on top.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
- Serve:
Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
✅ Tips for Maximum Gooeyness:
- Don’t overfill the dough—just enough cheese to make a nice pocket.
- You can add cooked bacon bits, pepperoni, or sautéed spinach for variety.
- Serve immediately; cheese bombs are best warm and gooey!
If you want, I can also give you a shortcut version using crescent roll dough that takes under 20 minutes and tastes just as amazing.
