The combination of biscuits, cheese, and bacon make for a great tailgate food and anytime snack. Cooking with natural gas provides precise temperature control and is essential in this recipe to have the oil temperature exactly as it states - without precise temperature, you could have bombs that are crispy on the outside and not cooked on the inside.
INGREDIENTS
1 can biscuits
6 oz. mozzarella cheese in brick, cut into 10 cubes
5 slices of bacon cut in half
3 Tablespoons butter melted
2 cloves garlic grated
Marinara sauce/Garlic Butter (for dipping)
toothpicks
INSTRUCTION
Mix melted butter with garlic. Set aside.
Open biscuits and place on cutting board.
Gently flatten biscuit. Do not make it too thin or the cheese will escape during frying.
Brush the side up of a biscuit with garlic butter. Place one cube of cheese in the middle and close the sides, pinching the seam. Roll a few times in your hands. Place on a plate.
Repeat with each biscuit.
Wrap each biscuit in one half of a bacon slice, securing it with a toothpick. Place back on the plate. Repeat with each biscuit.
In a skillet, preheat canola or vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Not hotter. Any hotter and biscuits will be raw inside, while everything else will be crispy.
Fry each biscuit, about 1,5 to 2 minutes on each side OR until the side is crispy brown.
Place fried cheese bombs on a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess oil.
Serve warm with a side of garlic butter or marinara sauce for dipping.
