- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra flavor)
- 8 small cubes of cream cheese (about 1-inch each)
For the Garlic Butter:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)

- Pinch of salt

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Stuffed Biscuits
These cheesy bombs of goodness are super easy to prepare and only take a few steps. Here’s how to make them:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, combine mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Set aside. If using cream cheese cubes, make sure they are slightly chilled so they hold their shape when wrapped inside the dough.
Step 3: Stuff the Biscuits
Open the biscuit can and separate each biscuit. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round.
Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each dough round, then top with a small handful of shredded cheese.
Carefully pinch the edges of the dough together to completely seal the cheese inside and roll it gently into a ball. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Mix the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
Brush the tops of the biscuit balls generously with the garlic butter mixture. Reserve a little for a second brushing after baking.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 14–16 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed, golden brown, and bubbling slightly around the edges.
Step 6: Finishing Touch
Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush them again with the remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little extra parsley if desired.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving — the cheese inside will be molten!
Serving Ideas
These cheesy garlic biscuits are incredibly versatile. Here are a few ways to serve them:
- As a side dish for pasta, soup, or roasted chicken
- With a dipping sauce like marinara, garlic aioli, or ranch
- At brunch, served with scrambled eggs or an omelet
- On a snack board, with olives, meats, and roasted veggies
Variations You’ll Want to Try
Feel like switching things up? Try these fun twists on the original recipe:
- Add jalapeños or crushed red pepper for a spicy kick
- Stuff with pepperoni for a pizza-style biscuit
- Use different cheeses like gouda, provolone, or fontina
- Add spinach or cooked bacon for extra flavor and texture
- Make mini versions using smaller biscuit pieces for party bites
Tips for Perfect Stuffed Biscuits
- Seal them well: Make sure the seams are tightly pinched to prevent cheese from leaking out.
- Use parchment paper or foil: Makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
- Don’t overstuff: Too much filling can make it hard to seal the dough and cause blowouts.
- Bake immediately: Once stuffed and brushed with butter, bake right away to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
- Serve warm: These are best eaten hot from the oven when the cheese is perfectly melty.
Storing & Reheating
Have leftovers? No problem!
- Storage: Keep any extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes, or pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Freezing: These freeze well! Freeze unbaked stuffed biscuits and bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
