Make-Ahead Cheesy Bacon Biscuit Bombs

🥘 Ingredients

• bacon
  8 oz

1. 1

   Adjust rack to top position (top and middle for 12 servings) and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place 8 TBSP butter at room temperature (12 TBSP for 12 servings). TIP: Keep biscuits refrigerated until ready to roll out; they are easier to work with cold.
2. 2

   Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, wash and dry produce. Finely chop scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic.
4. 4

   Place scallion whites, garlic, and 2 TBSP more butter (4 TBSP for 12) in a medium microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until butter has melted, 45-60 minutes. Uncover and stir in cream cheese until combined, then stir in cheddar, Monterey Jack, and chopped bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
5. 5

   Remove biscuits from package. Using a rolling pin, roll out each biscuit into a 3-inch round. (TIP: If you don't have a rolling pin, press into rounds with your fingers!) Divide filling among biscuits (1 TBSP per round). Gently fold edges over filling and pinch tightly to seal. Gently roll each stuffed biscuit into a ball. TIP: After rolling, double-check the seal to ensure the filling stays inside!
6. 6

   Place biscuit bombs, seams down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet (divide between two sheets for 12 servings). Bake until golden and puffed, 14-15 minutes.
7. 7

   Meanwhile, in a small bowl (medium bowl for 12), combine scallion greens and softened butter.
8. 8

   Let biscuit bombs cool for 10 minutes. Divide between served plates with scallion butter on the side. **Bacon is fully cooked when it reaches 165°.**
