I stumbled upon these mozzarella-stuffed biscuits during a late-night snack attack when I needed something packed with cheese but had zero motivation for making dough from scratch. What started out as a last-ditch pantry dive turned out wild—there's nothing like cracking one open and getting that epic cheese stretch. Seriously, so satisfying.
The other day, the busted garlic smell sailed right over my backyard and lured my neighbor in. She’s obsessed now and makes them every time there’s a game on. Melted cheese and garlic together? It’s just unstoppable.
Tasty Ingredients

- Garlic (go fresh; it’s the secret)

Step-By-Step Guide
- Finishing Touch
- Brush them all over with garlicky butter both before and after they hit the oven. That’s double the yum.
- Pinching Closed
- Squeeze the edges tight so the cheesy goodness doesn’t try to escape (and trust me, it will want to).
- Loading With Cheese
- Set a chunk of mozzarella right in the middle. Don’t hold back—load it up!
- Getting Dough Ready
- Peel the biscuits apart and gently squish each one out into a little circle. Super easy, kind of like baby pizzas.
Tasty Pair-Ups
I dunk these chewy bites in a pool of marinara. On movie nights, I’ll serve them with a giant bowl of salad to pretend I’m eating healthy. They pair great with ice-cold beer or a fizzy lemonade for the kids. You can mix up a fast garlic butter dip, but honestly, they're stand-alone crowd-pleasers.
Switch Things Up
This base is just where things start. Sometimes I'll tuck pepperoni in with the cheese for pizza vibes. Friends who dig spice toss in jalapeños. At the holidays I stir rosemary or thyme into the butter. Go crazy with cheese—mix it up with cheddar, pepper jack, or whatever you’ve got.
Stay Tasty
You gotta eat these when they're hot and the cheese is at its stretchiest. If you’re planning ahead, assemble them but save the baking for last minute. If you somehow have leftovers, toss them in the oven for about 5 minutes to reheat—they’ll still work in the microwave, but the crunch won’t be the same.
