Let’s Make it together
Get ready to take your taste buds on an adventure! Follow these steps closely to create your own magical Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs.
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, mix ground beef with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dried herbs until well combined. Don’t be shy; get in there with your hands!
Roll Out Puff Pastry: Unroll your puff pastry sheets onto a floured surface and cut them into squares about 4×4 inches each—this will hold all that deliciousness inside.
Add Beef Filling: Place about one tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of each square. Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on top because who doesn’t love extra cheese?
Seal Them Up!: Fold over the corners of each pastry square toward the center and pinch tightly to seal. You want to ensure no filling escapes during baking—like keeping secrets from your nosy neighbor.
Brush with Egg Wash: Beat one egg and brush it over each bomb for that golden brown finish—your kitchen will smell heavenly as they bake!
Bake those beauties in your preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and sizzling—trust me; you’ll want to keep an eye on them!
Once you pull them out of the oven, let them cool slightly (if you can resist) before diving in. Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup or ranch dressing for an extra kick!
Enjoy every cheesy bite of these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs that turn any ordinary gathering into an extraordinary feast!
