5.2 from 5 reviews

Delight in these golden, cheesy stuffed breads that are perfect as a snack or appetizer. Soft biscuit dough is wrapped around gooey mozzarella cubes, baked to a light golden brown, then brushed with a flavorful garlic butter blend and sprinkled with fresh parsley for a savory treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Bread

  • 1 tube of biscuit dough (typically 8 biscuits)
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into eight 1-inch square cubes (cheddar cheese or diced string cheese may be substituted)

Butter Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare biscuit dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Take one piece of dough and place a 1-inch cube of mozzarella cheese in its center.
  3. Wrap cheese with dough: Wrap the dough completely around the cheese cube, sealing it tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking. Place the wrapped biscuit seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and cheese cubes.
  4. Bake biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until biscuits are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes as they can quickly overbake, turning from underdone to overdone in less than a minute.
  5. Melt butter: While the biscuits are baking, place the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and melt it on high power for 30 to 60 seconds until fully melted.
  6. Mix seasoning: Stir the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt into the melted butter until well combined.
  7. Brush biscuits: Once biscuits have just come out of the oven, generously brush each one with the prepared butter mixture to add flavor and shine.
  8. Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the biscuits for a fresh herbal note. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the melty cheesy goodness.

Notes

  • Use fresh mozzarella cubes for best melt and flavor; cheddar or string cheese can be used as alternatives.
  • Watch the biscuits closely toward the end of baking to avoid overcooking, ensuring a tender, chewy texture.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
  • Serve these stuffed cheese breads warm for the best taste and gooey texture.
  • Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day; reheat in a warm oven to refresh.
