Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 16.3 oz refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray.
  2. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch round. Place a cheese cube in the center, wrap dough around it, and pinch to seal. Place seam-side down in the tin.
  3. Mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Brush over bites, then sprinkle with Parmesan.
  4. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool slightly and serve with marinara.

Notes

  • Cheese melting tip: Use fresh mozzarella blocks for the best gooey texture; pre-shredded won't melt as smoothly.
  • Make-ahead hack: Assemble up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate; add 2-3 minutes to bake time.
  • Storage advice: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temp for 1 day or freeze for 1 month. Reheat in oven for crispness.
  • Customization alert: Add pepperoni or veggies inside for variety, but don't overfill to avoid leaks.
