Turn your regular biscuits into ooey-gooey cheese pockets packed with garlicky goodness. The soft biscuit dough wraps around loads of cheese, and a swipe of garlic butter gives it that extra kick before it all gets baked up until golden and gooey inside. They’re super snackable and hit every comfort food craving—just try to stop at one!
The first time I whipped these up was for a night of board games, and they vanished in minutes. Even my nephew, who usually won’t touch anything unfamiliar, came back for seconds… and thirds!

My grandma always told me cheese and garlic are a match made in heaven. After years of popping these out of the oven, I think she had it right. The way the butter carries all that garlicky flavor into every bite really makes these little cheese bombs unforgettable.
Easy Prep Ahead
Like to plan ahead? You can get these bombs built up to 4 hours before you want to bake. Just assemble, throw them on a pan, cover with some plastic, and refrigerate. When you’re ready, brush on the butter and bake. Coming out of the fridge, they might need another minute or two to finish baking.
Tasty Combinations
They're killer alone, but dip them in some marinara, and wow—the tangy tomato is just what all that cheese richness needs. If you want to turn it into a meal, toss these with a green salad dressed with light vinaigrette. It really helps balance out the cheesy, buttery flavors.
Storing Extras
If you’re lucky enough to have a few leftover, stick them in a tightly closed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To warm them back up, use the oven (350°F for about 5 to 7 minutes) so they stay soft and not rubbery. Skip the microwave if you can—it makes the texture weird.
Fun Twists
Want to mix things up? Toss in some chopped pepperoni, red pepper flakes, or even a touch of pesto into the cheese blend. It’s fun to play around; every change brings a new flavor but keeps that delicious cheese pull inside.
