Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Dough
- 1 can (8 count) biscuits
Cheese
- 8 oz Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese, cut into 0.5 oz blocks
- Tillamook Farm Style Thick Cuts Cheddar Cheese, amount as desired for topping
Meat
- 4 pieces bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
Others
- ¼ tablespoon salted butter, melted
- oregano, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cheese bombs.
- Prepare bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop it into small pieces. Set aside.
- Prepare cheese and dough: Cut the sharp cheddar cheese into small blocks of about 0.5 oz each. Open the biscuit can and separate each biscuit.
- Assemble bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough piece, place a cheese block and some chopped bacon inside, then carefully fold the dough around the filling to form a ball, sealing the edges well.
- Apply butter and seasoning: Brush the tops of each dough ball with melted salted butter and sprinkle oregano over them for added flavor.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the Tillamook Farm Style Thick Cuts Cheddar Cheese on top of each formed bomb for a gooey, cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve warm: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving these delicious bacon cheese bombs warm.
Notes
- Bacon can be substituted with turkey bacon for a leaner option.
- Make sure to seal the biscuit dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Use freshly prepped oregano or dried oregano depending on preference.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or paprika inside the filling.
- These bombs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
