Here’s a Creamy Fried Bombs recipe 🧀🔥—crispy on the outside, creamy and melty on the inside. These are great as snacks or party food.
Creamy Fried Bombs
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or crescent dough)
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
- Optional flavor add-ins:
- Cooked bacon bits
- Jalapeños
- Garlic powder or ranch seasoning
For frying
- Oil (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- Make filling:
Mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, and any add-ins until smooth. - Prepare dough:
Separate biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a small circle. - Fill & seal:
Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into the center of each dough round.
Fold dough around filling and pinch tightly to seal into a ball. - Coat:
Roll each ball in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs. - Fry:
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry bombs in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning, until golden brown. - Drain & serve:
Place on paper towels and let cool slightly before eating (inside is hot!).
Tips & Variations
- Air fryer: Spray lightly with oil and cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes.
- Pizza bombs: Add pepperoni and use mozzarella + marinara for dipping.
- Sweet version: Use sweetened cream cheese and dust with powdered sugar.
- Extra crispy: Double-coat with egg and breadcrumbs.
If you want, I can give a baked-only version, a jalapeño popper style, or a sweet dessert bomb version.
