How to Make Pimento Cheese Bombs

Making Pimento Cheese Bombs is simple and fun! Here is how to do it step by step.

Ingredients:

• 1 can 8 count flaky layers refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 ½ cups pimento cheese
• ¼ cup melted butter
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions:

1. Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit in half to form 16 thin biscuit pieces.
2. Use a small spoon to drop scoops of pimento cheese into the center of each piece of biscuit dough.
3. Fold up the edges of the biscuit to close the cheese in the center. Roll into a ball, sealing the edges so the cheese does not leak out.
4. Place the biscuits in an air fryer basket in an even layer, leaving space between each for air to flow.
5. In a small bowl, add the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Whisk to combine.
6. Brush the butter mixture over the dough balls.
7. Air fry at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
8. Let sit for 3 minutes before serving.

How to Serve Pimento Cheese Bombs

Serve the Pimento Cheese Bombs warm. They are great on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of ranch or marinara sauce for dipping. These cheesy treats are perfect for sharing, so set them out on a platter and watch them disappear!

How to Store Pimento Cheese Bombs

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the air fryer for a few minutes until they are warm again. You can also reheat them in the oven at a low temperature to keep them fluffy.

Tips to Make Pimento Cheese Bombs

• For added flavor, use homemade pimento cheese instead of store-bought.
• Make sure to seal the edges of each biscuit well so the cheese doesn’t leak out while cooking.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these in the oven at 375 degrees for about 12-15 minutes.

Variation

You can switch up the filling if you like! Try adding cooked bacon bits or jalapeños to the pimento cheese for a spicy kick. You can also experiment with different types of cheese for a new flavor.
