- 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cubed or shredded
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the biscuits and flatten each one with your hands into a 4-inch circle.
- Place 1 generous tablespoon of mozzarella cheese (about 2-3 cubes or ¼ cup shredded) in the center of each biscuit.
- Gather the edges of the dough and pinch firmly to seal the cheese inside, forming a smooth ball. Roll gently between palms.
- Place the sealed biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder until combined.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of each biscuit.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown with no pale dough visible.
- Remove from oven and let cool 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Use Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits, not flaky layers variety. They seal better and hold cheese without leaking.
- Pinch dough tightly at seams to prevent cheese from escaping during baking. Place seam-side down for best results.
- Let cool 2-3 minutes before eating – cheese will be extremely hot inside.
- Substitute cheddar, pepper jack, or Mexican cheese blend for different flavors. Cube harder cheeses for even melting.
