Step 4: Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix:

  • melted butter
  • minced garlic
  • parsley
  • Parmesan
  • salt & pepper

Stir until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.


Step 5: Brush the Cheese Bites

Place your rolled cheese bites on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Brush each one generously with the garlic butter mixture, saving a little for after baking.


Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the bites puff up and turn a lovely golden brown.

They should smell buttery, garlicky, and irresistible.


Step 7: Brush With More Garlic Butter

Once out of the oven, brush the remaining garlic butter over the warm bites.
This final coating gives them extra shine, flavor, and softness.


Step 8: Serve Warm

Enjoy immediately while the cheese is still melty.
Serve with marinara, ranch, garlic sauce, or simply eat them plain—they’re wonderful either way.


💡 Tips for Perfect Garlic Butter Cheese Bites

✔ Use low-moisture mozzarella

It melts beautifully and stays inside without releasing too much water.

✔ Don’t overfill the dough

Too much cheese will cause leaks.

✔ Seal very well

Pinch tightly, then roll again for a smooth finish.

✔ Add herbs or spices

Italian seasoning, oregano, chives, or chili flakes add extra character.

✔ Make them ahead

Assemble the bites, freeze them, and bake straight from frozen (just add 3–4 minutes).


🌟 Delicious Variations

Here are some fun ways to customize your cheese bites:

✨ Pizza Cheese Bites

Stuff with mozzarella + a tiny piece of pepperoni.

✨ Jalapeño Cheese Bites

Add a thin slice of jalapeño inside for a spicy kick.

✨ Cheddar Explosion

Stuff with sharp cheddar instead of mozzarella for a richer taste.

✨ Creamy Herb Bites

Mix cream cheese with herbs and use that as the filling.
