Stuffed Cheese Bread
Description
This recipe arranges refrigerated biscuit dough pieces filled with mozzarella cheese cubes. Each biscuit is wrapped to seal in the cheese and placed seam-side down on a baking sheet. Baking at 400°F produces lightly golden biscuits in about 10 minutes. While baking, melted butter is mixed with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt to create a savory brush-on glaze. Once the biscuits come out of the oven, they are generously coated with the butter mixture, enhancing aroma and flavor. Optionally, chopped fresh parsley adds a touch of color and freshness.
The texture contrasts a soft biscuit crumb and molten cheese center. The garlic and herbal butter amplifies each bite with a savory richness. These are best served warm to appreciate the melted cheese and tender dough. They can function as a snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to soups or salads.
Ingredients
- 1 tube about 16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough (I used one 16.3-ounce tube Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Butter Tastin’ Biscuits which contains 8 biscuits)
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into eight 1-inch square cubes (cheddar cheese or diced string cheese may be substituted)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 tablespoons parsley optional for garnishing, finely chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- Separate biscuits and put 1 cheese cube into the center of each biscuit, wrap the dough around the cheese, seal, and place on baking sheet with the seam side down. Repeat until all dough and cheese is used.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until very lightly golden browned; watch them closely in the last minutes of baking because they can go from un-done to over-done in less than a minute. While biscuits bake, prepare the butter mixture.
- To a small microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and stir to combine.
- As soon as biscuits emerge from oven, generously brush each one with the butter mixture, optionally garnish with parsley, and serve immediately. Biscuits are best warm and fresh.
