  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Biscuit and Cheese

  • 16.3 ounce can Grands style biscuits
  • 16 cubes cheddar cheese (3/4″ x 3/4″)

Butter Topping

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Finishing Touches

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the cheese balls evenly.
  2. Prepare Biscuits: Cut each biscuit in half crosswise using a serrated knife to create a perfect size for wrapping the cheese cubes.
  3. Arrange Biscuits: Lay the biscuit halves on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Insert Cheese Cubes: Place one cube of cheddar cheese into the center of each biscuit piece, preparing for sealing.
  5. Seal Biscuits: Fold the biscuit dough around the cheese cube, pinching the seams tightly to enclose the cheese inside.
  6. Place on Baking Sheet: Position each sealed biscuit seam side down on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart, allowing space for expansion. You may bake in batches if needed.
  7. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Microwave until the butter is fully melted and can be brushed easily.
  8. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush 3 tablespoons of the garlic butter over the tops of the cheese balls and then sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over them to add flavor and texture.
  9. Reserve Butter: Keep the remaining tablespoon of garlic butter aside for finishing after baking.
  10. Bake Cheese Balls: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the biscuits turn lightly browned. Take care not to overbake to avoid cheese spilling out.
  11. Final Brush and Garnish: Once baked, brush the remaining garlic butter over the cheese balls and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • Make sure to pinch the biscuit dough seams tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • If baking in batches, keep cooked cheese balls warm in a low oven or covered foil.
  • You can substitute cheddar with other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for variety.
  • Use fresh parsley for garnish to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.
  • Serve these cheese balls hot for the best gooey cheese experience.
