How to Make Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs (USA Measurements)


Homemade Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs

  • 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))
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Filling
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
  5. Step 3: Prepare the Dough
  6. 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.
  7. Step 4: Roll the Cheese Bombs
  8. 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.
  9. Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter
  10. 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.
  11. Step 6: Bake
  12. 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.
  13. Step 7: Garnish and Serve
  14. 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.
