Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 can (16.3 oz) buttermilk biscuit dough (8 count)
8 small chunks fresh mozzarella cheese (about 1-inch cubes)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circle using your hands.
Place one chunk of fresh mozzarella in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal. Roll gently between your palms to form a smooth ball.
Arrange the stuffed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well.
Brush the tops generously with the garlic herb butter mixture.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter while still warm.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best cheese pull.
Servings and timing
Servings: 8 biscuit bites
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 12–15 minutes
Total time: Approximately 25 minutes
Variations
Add a small spoonful of marinara sauce inside each biscuit before sealing for a pizza-style version.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking for extra cheesy flavor.
Mix a pinch of red pepper flakes into the butter for a mild spicy kick.
Swap fresh parsley for dried herbs if needed, using about 1 teaspoon dried parsley.
Serve with warm marinara or garlic yogurt dip on the side for dipping.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover biscuit bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain their crisp exterior. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the biscuits soft and chewy instead of crisp.
You can also freeze baked biscuit bites for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–12 minutes.
FAQs
Can I use shredded mozzarella instead of fresh mozzarella?
Yes, but fresh mozzarella gives a better melt and gooey texture. If using shredded, pack it tightly in the center before sealing.
How do I prevent the cheese from leaking out?
Make sure to pinch the seams tightly and place the sealed side down on the baking sheet.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble them a few hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Can I use homemade biscuit dough?
Absolutely. Homemade dough works just as well as store-bought.
What dipping sauces pair well with these bites?
Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, garlic yogurt sauce, or a light pesto dip are great options.
Can I add other fillings?
Yes, small amounts of cooked vegetables or shredded chicken can be added along with the cheese.
How do I know when they are done baking?
They should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Can I make them in an air fryer?
Yes. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 8–10 minutes, checking for a golden finish.
Why are my biscuit bites doughy inside?
They may need a few more minutes in the oven. Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, simply use two cans of biscuit dough and double the remaining ingredients.
