Description
Garlic Bread Meatball Bombs are a quick, crowd-pleasing comfort food combining juicy meatballs, gooey mozzarella, and golden garlic butter biscuit dough. Perfect as a party appetizer or fun weeknight dinner, they’re crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough (16 oz)
- 12 cooked meatballs, thawed
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide dough into 12 pieces and flatten each into a 4-inch circle.
- Place a meatball and a sprinkle of mozzarella in the center of each dough circle. Fold dough over and seal tightly. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and parsley. Brush over each dough ball.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use crescent roll dough for a flakier texture.
- Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for heat.
- Insert a small cube of cheese with the meatball for extra gooeyness.
- Try vegetarian meatballs and mushrooms for a meatless option.
- Reheat in oven for best texture; microwave if short on time.
