These Cheese Bombs have a delicious crunchy coating with warm, melted cheese on the inside!
There are so many different kinds of pizza balls to make that I wasn’t sure which one to make next. Since we are a cheese loving family and always have multiple kinds of cheese in the fridge, I figured I should make cheese pizza balls. But then, I got to thinking about eating cheese on a stick.
Have you ever tried it? Cheese on a stick is a big piece of deep fried cheese that is somewhat like a corn dog. Once I started thinking about it, regular old cheese pizza balls didn’t sound nearly as good. So, I switched from making another cheese pizza balls to making cheese bombs! Even the name sounds delicious!
Start by cutting a soft cheese that melts easily (like Velveeta) into 1 ounce squares. Using the 4 ounce lines on the cheese package, I cut 4 ounce pieces of cheese and cut each of them into 4 (1 ounce) pieces.
Place the cheese squares in the freezer for at least one hour or until frozen. This step is VERY important so don’t skip it!
Mix together Italian style bread crumbs, panko bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic salt and black pepper. Melt butter in a small bowl and remove the cheese squares from the freezer. Flatten 10 buttermilk refrigerator biscuits and place a cheese square on each one.
Wrap the biscuit dough around the frozen cheese and pinch the edges together to seal well. Dip it in the melted butter and then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Place in a greased pie pan with the seam down.
Bake at 425°F for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.
Okay, here are a couple of things to keep in mind…
I am a foodie blogger/photographer in the business of showing pretty things therefore I am going to show you the best side of things.
Yes, one of the cooked cheese bombs is missing in the picture above…it was eaten and thoroughly enjoyed.
More than one of the cheese bombs exploded {pun intended} while baking but still tasted just as good.
Some of cheese oozed out of the cheese bombs even when they were placed with the seam down. That oozed cheese got nice and crispy and was quickly eaten.
My kids loved these cheese bombs and are already asking me to make them again!
Oh yeah! A cheese bomb!

Can I use mozzarella cheese? If I can, how long will these cheese bombs last?
nema says
was wondering if i could use monterey jack cheese shredded maybe, instead of velveeta cheese
Tonia says
Yes, you can use any cheese you want. The softer cheeses will have more of a melting, cheese bomb look. Enjoy!
Chris says

What if you were to put triangles of that cheese inside of crescent rolls?
Tonia says
Ohhh…I like the sound of that! Crescent rolls are delicious by themselves so imagine them filled with cheese!

Question: The cheese looks like it was rolled in the bread crumb mixture, was it and then covered with the biscuit and rolled again? Either way they look delicious and I will be making them.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
