1 tsp Italian seasoning 🌿
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀

Step 2: Assemble the Biscuit Bombs
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Place a mozzarella ball in the center of each biscuit (or use about 2 tbsp of shredded mozzarella).
Wrap the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges to seal it completely.
Roll each biscuit into a smooth ball.

Brush the tops of each biscuit bomb with melted butter.
Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese over the biscuit bombs.
