For the Garlic Butter:
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the Bites:
- 2 cans buttermilk biscuits (not the flaky kind)
- 20 balls mozzarella fresca ciliegine (cherry size) or mozzarella cut into cubes
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- Salt and basil to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Open the can of biscuits and flatten each biscuit. Drain the liquid from the container of fresh mozzarella. Place a mozzarella ball in the center and wrap the dough around it to form a ball.
- Prepare the garlic butter: Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add in the butter and stir until melted. Slowly pour in the wine and salt, continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the bites: Roll the dough balls into the garlic butter. Place them in a mini muffin pan (open side up).
- Add the cheeses: Combine the shredded mozzarella and parmesan, and pile on each dough ball.
- Bake: Bake in a 450-degree oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Finish: Remove from the oven, brush with remaining garlic butter, sprinkle with salt and basil, and serve warm.
