Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury biscuits
- 8 mozzarella cheese sticks
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Finishing Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter, melted
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- Gently flatten each biscuit with your fingertips into a uniform circular shape, creating a smooth surface for filling.
- Position a cube of mozzarella cheese precisely in the middle of each biscuit round, ensuring it’s centered.
- Carefully fold the biscuit dough edges over the cheese, meticulously pinching and sealing the seams to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
- Arrange the cheese-encased biscuits seam-side down on a clean baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow even heat circulation.
- Create a luxurious garlic butter glaze by whisking together melted butter, aromatic garlic powder, and fragrant Italian seasoning in a small mixing bowl.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat the top of each biscuit with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let cool briefly, then serve alongside warm marinara sauce for a delectable dipping experience.
Notes
- Choose pre-chilled mozzarella to prevent cheese from completely melting during baking.
- Replace regular biscuits with gluten-free versions for a celiac-friendly alternative.
- Experiment with different cheese types like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- Add fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives on top after baking for extra brightness and visual appeal.
