Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Cheese
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (16 ounces)
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into eight 1-inch square cubes
Butter Mixture and Seasoning
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a Silpat mat or cover it with aluminum foil sprayed with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cheese Filling: Unroll the biscuit dough and place a 1-inch cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit.
- Wrap Dough Around Cheese: Carefully wrap the biscuit dough around each cheese cube, sealing it completely. Place each stuffed biscuit seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden brown on top.
- Make Butter Mixture: While the biscuits bake, melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt, mixing well to combine the flavors.
- Brush and Garnish: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, generously brush them with the herbed butter mixture. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
- Serve Warm: Serve the stuffed cheese bread warm to enjoy the gooey melted mozzarella and buttery crust at their best.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like Monterey Jack or cheddar for different flavors.
- Adjust the garlic powder and salt according to your taste preference.
- For extra crispiness, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- These bread bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispness.
