Ingredients
- 1 16 oz container of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 4 ounces of mozzarella cheese (soft, shredded, or diced string cheese)
- 4 tablespoons of melted butter (half a stick)
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Begin by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Dough
Open the container of refrigerated biscuit dough. Separate the biscuits and flatten each into a 3-inch circle on a clean surface.
3. Add the Cheese
Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit dough circle. Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and around the cheese, pinching them together to seal and form a ball.
4. Season and Bake
Arrange the cheese-filled balls seam-side down on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Brush this mixture over each puff. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe makes 8 cheesy garlic butter puffs. Total preparation time, including baking, is approximately 25 minutes.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Storage: Store leftover cheesy puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat the puffs in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. They can also be microwaved for a quick reheat, but the texture might become softer.
