Cheesy Biscuit Bombs from the South Serves
Components:
- One eight-count can of chilled biscuit dough
- One cup of shredded cheddar cheese, or any other preferred cheese
- 4 ounces of softened cream cheese
- Four cooked bacon pieces, crumbled (optional)
- Two tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
- one tsp powdered garlic
- One tsp of dehydrated parsley
- A dash of salt
Guidelines:
Get the Filling Ready:
- Combine the melted cream cheese, crumbled bacon (if using), and shredded cheddar cheese in a small bowl and stir until well blended.
Get the biscuit dough ready:
- Set the temperature of your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Divide the biscuit dough into eight separate biscuits.
- Press down a little on each biscuit using a rolling pin or your hands.
Stuff the Biscuits:
- Put a spoonful or so of the cheese mixture in the middle of each biscuit that has been flattened.
- Forming a ball, fold the biscuit dough’s edges over the filling and firmly press the seams shut.
- Spoon the sealed biscuit bombs seam-side down onto an air fryer basket or baking sheet lined with parchment.
Get the topping ready:
- Melt the butter, add the dried parsley, garlic powder, and a dash of salt to a small bowl.
Bake or Fry in the Air:
- Apply the butter mixture to the biscuit bombs’ tops.
- If baking, bake the biscuit bombs for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
- If you’re using an air fryer, cook the food for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F/175°C, or until it’s golden and thoroughly cooked.
Serve:
- Before serving, let the cheese-filled biscuit bombs cool for a few minutes. Warm is the ideal temperature for enjoying them.
Note: These comforting, Southern-inspired cheese biscuit bombs are great for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack. They are incredibly delicious with their tasty butter topping, flaky biscuit batter, and oozy cheese filling. You may eat them on their own or serve them with a side of gravy!
