Pull Apart Garlic Cheddar Bombs

Who loves a savory breakfast?  These Easy Pull-Apart Garlic Cheddar Bombs are my go-to when I need a fast snack, side, or breakfast add-on that everyone will actually eat. They come together in minutes, taste just like those iconic Red Lobster cheddar biscuits, and are the perfect little cheesy bites for chaotic weeknights, brunch spreads, or after-school hunger attacks. So quick, so easy, and so good.

Instructions

• Slice a tube of 8 oz. crescent rolls into small squares. Place in a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp organic onion powder, 1 tsp organic garlic powder, 1 tsp dried chives, dash paprika. 1 cup chopped ham and ¼ tsp salt.

• Grease a muffin tin. Divide between muffin tins.
• Bake at 375℉ for about 12 minutes.
• Remove, let cool and serve or freeze.

Storage + Freezer Tips

These reheat beautifully, which makes them busy-mom gold.

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days.

• Freezer: Freeze baked bombs.  They keep for up to 2 months.

• Reheat: Air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes or oven at 300°F for 6–8 minutes.

Substitutions & Variations

• Swap cheddar for gruyere or pepper jack for extra flavor.

• Replace ham/bacon with turkey sausage for a lighter option.

• Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.

• Make them vegetarian by skipping the meat entirely — still delicious!

• Brush with garlic herb butter after baking for that extra Red Lobster vibe
