Instructions

- Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a 4-inch circle.

- Fold the edges up and pinch tightly to seal, forming a sealed ball.
Step 3: Brush with Garlic Butter & Bake
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Brush the tops of each cheeseburger bomb with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (and sesame seeds if using).
