Skillet Cheese Bombs - buttery, flaky mozzarella cheese-filled biscuits in a skillet. These cheese bombs take only 15 mins to make and perfect as snacks or appetizers!
What Is A Cheese Bomb
Cheese bombs are basically biscuits filled with string mozzarella cheese. The biscuits are made from instant biscuits in a tube, for example Pillsbury biscuits.
Cheese bombs are very addictive; they are also one of the easiest recipes to have quick and easy oven-baked biscuits.
A few years ago, I shared my Garlic Herb Cheese Bombs recipe, which are very popular. The recipe was pinned over 1 million times!
I am not against taking shortcuts in the kitchen. Some days, we just don’t have the time to make everything from scratch but we want something unique that we can’t find at the stores.
These skillet cheese bombs are one of them.
I used Pillsbury Flaky Layer Biscuits for this recipe. As the name suggests, the top of the biscuits are flaky with layers, as you can see from the pictures.
After you bake the cheese-filled biscuits in the oven, the mozzarella cheese melts and oozes out of the biscuit, just like the picture below. So yummy!
They are a hit with kids, especially picky eaters. Serve them as a snack or an appetizer, or as dinner rolls. Grown ups will find them delightful, too. Try my recipe and enjoy!
How To Make Skillet Cheese Bombs
Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Open the biscuit can and separate the biscuits. Cut the string cheese into 10 pieces. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
Place a piece of cheese in the center of each biscuit. Gently wrap the dough around the cheese and pinch to seal. Be careful not to press too hard—this keeps the biscuits light and flaky when baked.
Brush the tops of the cheese bombs with the remaining melted butter, then sprinkle with a little kosher salt.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
