INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 cans of buttermilk biscuits (not the flaky kind) 20 small balls of mozzarella cheese, such as Fresca Ciliegine cherry size, or mozzarella cut into cubes 6 cloves of garlic, minced pinch of crushed red pepper flakes ¼ cup white wine ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese salt and basil to taste ¼ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

3. Drain the liquid from the mozzarella container and place a cheese ball or cube in the center of each flattened biscuit. Wrap the dough around the cheese to form a ball.
4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for a minute or two. Add the butter and stir until melted. Gradually pour in the white wine and season with salt. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Roll each dough ball in the garlic butter sauce, then place them open-side up in a mini muffin pan.
6. Mix the shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle a generous amount on top of each dough ball.
7. Bake the cheese bites in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
8. Take the pan out of the oven and brush the bites with the remaining garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle with salt and basil to taste.

Serve the Garlic Cheese Bites warm and enjoy!
