Ingredients

Scale

1 (16 oz) container of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
4 ounces mozzarella cheese (soft, shredded, or diced string cheese)
4 tablespoons melted butter (half a stick)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing for Baking Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This preparation ensures an easy cleanup and prevents the puffs from sticking to the baking sheet.
Step 2: Assembling the Biscuits Take each biscuit and top it evenly with mozzarella cheese. You can use a variety of cheese forms, such as soft mozzarella cut into cubes, shredded mozzarella, or even diced string cheese. Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed to allow for uniform melting.
Step 3: Sealing the Dough Wrap the dough around the cheese, ensuring a tight seal by pressing and pinching the edges together. This step is crucial to prevent the cheese from oozing out during the baking process.
Step 4: Baking Place the stuffed dough balls on the parchment paper, seam side down, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. The timing may vary slightly based on your oven, so it’s important to keep an eye on them.
Step 5: Preparing the Garlic Butter While the biscuits bake, melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. This mixture will be used as a flavorful coating for the baked puffs.
Step 6: Final Touch Once baked, remove the puffs from the oven and immediately brush them generously with the prepared butter mixture. This step enhances their flavor and gives them a delightful aroma.
