Bacon and cheddar in biscuit dough, baked then glazed with BBQ honey for a savory, cheesy appetizer.
# Ingredients:
→ Filling and Dough
01 -
8 slices thick-cut bacon
02 -
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
03 -
16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
→ Sauce and Glaze
04 -
1/2 cup barbecue sauce, plus extra for dipping
05 -
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweeter glaze)
→ Garnish
06 -
Chopped green onions or parsley (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking pan.
02 -
Cook bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes until just beginning to crisp yet still pliable. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool slightly. Cut each bacon slice in half.
03 -
Flatten each biscuit dough portion slightly. Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center and top with half a slice of cooked bacon. Wrap biscuit dough around filling and seal edges well. Repeat until all pieces are assembled.
04 -
Place prepared bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
05 -
If using, mix barbecue sauce and honey. Brush over freshly baked bombs for sheen and flavor. Sprinkle with chopped green onions or parsley as desired.
06 -
Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not overcook bacon in the initial stage to maintain its flexibility for wrapping around cheese.
