Make-Ahead Instructions
These biscuit bombs can be assembled and refrigerated up to 4 hours before baking. Prepare as directed, arrange on baking sheet, cover, and chill. When ready to bake, apply garlic butter and increase baking time slightly to account for the chilled dough.
Serving Suggestions
Enhance these cheese bombs by serving with warm marinara sauce for dipping. The bright tomato flavor perfectly complements the rich, cheesy interior. Balance the meal with a crisp green salad dressed in light vinaigrette.
Storage Guidelines
Store any remaining biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until thoroughly warm, avoiding microwave reheating which can compromise texture.
Recipe Variations
Customize the filling by incorporating pepperoni, red pepper flakes, or fresh pesto. Each addition creates a unique flavor profile while maintaining the classic cheesy center that makes these bombs special.
