Description

Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are bite-sized, savory treats filled with juicy ground beef, aromatic garlic, and a blend of cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, all wrapped in flaky dough. Perfectly golden and melty on the inside, these flavorful bombs offer a fun, cheesy twist on classic cheeseburgers, ideal for sharing at parties or enjoying as a satisfying snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup diced onions (sautéed)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Dough & Finishing

  • 1 package puff pastry or biscuit dough (enough for about 12–16 bombs)
  • 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat. Add diced onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until onions soften and flavors meld. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing residual heat to slightly melt the cheeses.
  2. Prep the dough: Roll out store-bought puff pastry or biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases. Cut into even squares or circles large enough to fully enclose the filling.
  3. Assemble the bombs: Spoon a generous amount of the cheeseburger filling into the center of each dough piece. Fold the dough over, pinching edges tightly to seal and shape into neat balls or pouches to ensure uniform cooking and prevent leaks.
  4. Apply egg wash and bake: Place bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each with beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until puffed, golden, and cooked through.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes to allow the filling to set, preventing messy cheese spills. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese for best melt and flavor.
  • Do not overfill bombs to avoid dough rupture during baking.
  • Seal edges tightly with water or egg wash to prevent leaks.
  • Serve bombs warm for gooey cheese and optimal flavor.
  • Customize seasonings with smoked paprika, Italian herbs, or other spices to suit your taste.
