Delightful cheese-filled biscuits wrapped in crispy, savory meat, these Baked Stuffed Cheese Bombs are the perfect snack for gatherings, game nights, or a cozy night in. With a gooey cheese center and a golden-brown, buttery exterior, every bite is packed with flavor.
Why I Love This Recipe
I love how quick and easy these cheese bombs are to make. With just a handful of ingredients, I can whip up a warm and cheesy treat in no time. The combination of cheddar cheese and crispy meat wrapped in soft, buttery biscuit dough is irresistible. These are great for dipping in marinara sauce or ranch dressing and work well as an appetizer, side, or snack.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
12 small cubes of cheddar cheese
6 slices of cooked deli-style meat, crumbled
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round about 1/4 inch thick.
Place a cube of cheese and a small amount of crumbled meat in the center of each round.
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal, forming a ball.
Place the balls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each ball with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley. For extra flavor, I sometimes add more crumbled meat on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!

Variations
Different Cheeses: I like to switch up the cheese by using mozzarella, pepper jack, or even smoked gouda for a different flavor profile.
Meat Options: Instead of deli meat, crispy bacon, cooked sausage, or even shredded rotisserie chicken work well.
Spicy Kick: Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or stuffing a slice of jalapeño inside each bomb adds heat.
Herb Butter Topping: Mixing melted butter with Italian seasoning or Parmesan cheese before brushing makes for an extra flavorful crust.
Sweet Version: Swapping the cheese and meat for Nutella or fruit preserves creates a delicious dessert-style biscuit bomb.
Storage/Reheating
Refrigeration: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing: These cheese bombs freeze well! I place them in a freezer-safe bag and store them for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat, I pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes or until warmed through. A quick zap in the microwave for 20-30 seconds also works, but the oven keeps them crispy.

FAQs
How do I keep the cheese from leaking out?
I make sure to pinch the dough tightly around the filling and place the seam side down on the baking sheet. Using slightly chilled cheese cubes also helps.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes! I cook them at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure they don’t overbrown.
What dipping sauces go well with these?
Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, honey mustard, or even a spicy sriracha mayo pair beautifully with these cheese bombs.
Can I prepare these ahead of time?
Absolutely! I assemble the bombs and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. When ready, I just pop them in the oven.
Can I use homemade biscuit dough?
Yes! If I have extra time, I like to use homemade biscuit dough for a more from-scratch feel. Store-bought dough, however, is a great shortcut.
Conclusion
Baked Stuffed Cheese Bombs are an easy and delicious snack that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether served as a party appetizer or a cozy treat, they’re sure to be a hit. With so many variations, I never get tired of making them. Try them with your favorite fillings and enjoy a cheesy, savory bite every time!
