How To Make Baked Garlic Butter Cheese Bites:

1. Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into 8 individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round circle.
2. Step 2: Fill with Cheese Place one cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each biscuit dough round. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, pinching tightly to seal. Roll the dough into a ball to fully encase the cheese. Place the filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
3. Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried oregano, and salt until well combined.
4. Step 4: Bake the Cheese Bites Brush the tops of the cheese bites with half of the garlic butter mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the remaining garlic butter.
5. Step 5: Serve Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce or enjoying on their own.
