- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Warm your oven to exactly 375°F, ensuring precise temperature for perfect cooking.
- Blend 1 cup pulled pork with ½ cup BBQ sauce in a mixing bowl. Incorporate ½ cup mozzarella and ½ cup cheddar cheese thoroughly.
- Carefully unroll refrigerated biscuit dough and gently flatten each piece into a thin circular shape.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of pork-cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit round. Carefully fold edges toward center, sealing tightly with fingertips.
- Dust each bomb with ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Position bombs seam-side down, leaving space between each.
- Slide sheet into preheated oven and bake precisely 16 minutes until tops turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let bombs rest 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley across surface for fresh color and flavor.
- Transfer bombs to serving plate, ensuring they remain intact during movement.
Notes
- Seal the edges of the biscuit dough carefully to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap refrigerated biscuit dough with a gluten-free biscuit or pastry alternative.
- Make sure your pulled pork is warm and not too wet when mixing with cheese to avoid soggy dough.
- If your cheese bombs are browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning while ensuring the inside cooks thoroughly.
