INGREDIENTS

Prepare Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and garlic powder.
Stuff the Dough: Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a circle. Place a tablespoon of cheese filling in the center and fold the dough over, pinching the edges to seal.
Place in Muffin Tin: Place each stuffed biscuit seam-side down into the prepared muffin tin.
Top with Butter: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.
Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and bubbly.

Variations and Tips
Variations
Different Cheeses: Try experimenting with cheddar, gouda, or pepper jack for a unique flavor twist.
Add Proteins: Include diced cooked bacon, ham, or crumbled sausage in the filling for a heartier snack.
Herb Infusion: Add fresh basil, thyme, or oregano to the cheese mixture for added aroma and flavor.
Spicy Kick: Mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few drops of hot sauce to the cheese filling.
Garlic Bread Style: Sprinkle the tops with garlic salt and Italian seasoning for a garlic bread-inspired treat.
Sweet Option: Replace the cheese filling with cream cheese and a teaspoon of jam or Nutella for a sweet variation.
Tips
Sealing the Dough: Make sure to pinch the edges of the dough firmly to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.
Even Filling: Use a small cookie scoop or measuring spoon to ensure equal portions of the cheese mixture.
Non-Stick Solution: Grease the muffin tin generously or use parchment liners to prevent sticking.
Golden Tops: Brush the tops with melted butter halfway through baking for an even more golden and buttery crust.
Serving Ideas: Pair with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli for dipping.
Make Ahead: Assemble the stuffed biscuits in advance and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer to retain their crispness.
