Description
These Garlic Butter Cheese Bombs are golden on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and filled with warm, stretchy melted cheese. The garlic butter coating adds rich flavor and aroma, making each bite savory, comforting, and irresistible.
Tips
Seal dough tightly to prevent cheese leakage.
Use low-moisture cheese for best melting.
Serve warm for maximum cheese pull.
Brush butter twice for extra flavor.
Line the pan well to avoid sticking.

Correction
If cheese leaks out:
Use smaller cheese cubes and seal dough more tightly.
If bombs are pale:
Bake an additional 2–3 minutes.
If dough is undercooked:
Lower oven temperature slightly and bake longer.
