How to Make Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs (USA Measurements)
Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 can 16.3 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Step 3: Prepare the Dough
- Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Take a spoonful of the cheese mixture and place it at the wide end of each triangle.
- Step 4: Roll the Cheese Bombs
- Starting from the wide end, roll the dough around the cheese filling, tucking the edges in to completely seal the cheese inside. Place each cheese bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Using a pastry brush, generously coat the tops and sides of each cheese bomb with the garlic butter.
- Step 6: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and puffed. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
- Step 7: Garnish and Serve
- Once baked, remove the cheese bombs from the oven and brush them with any remaining garlic butter for extra flavor. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
Serving Suggestions and Variations
- Pair with Dips: Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a spicy garlic aioli for dipping.
- Add a Kick: Mix a pinch of red pepper flakes into the cheese filling for a spicy version.
- Herb Variations: Swap Italian seasoning for dried basil, oregano, or even dill for a new flavor twist.
- Cheese Swaps: Try using cheddar, gouda, or a mix of cheeses for a different cheesy experience.
These cheese bombs pair wonderfully with a hearty bowl of soup or as a side to pasta dishes like spaghetti or lasagna.
