Pimento Cheese Bombs – weird name, but what else should we call a biscuit brushed in garlic butter and filled with an explosion of melty pimento cheese?!

We have shown how to make pizza bombs for a great appetizer. Ham and cheese bombs for a nice lunch. And my favorite, pumpkin bombs for a great dessert (or breakfast)!

Pimento cheese, if you’ve never had it, is a rich and creamy cheese spread made with a variety of cheeses, a few spices, and chopped pimentos. We often serve pimento cheese with crackers, but it’s also delicious spread on a burger, used in a grilled cheese, and turned into a cheese bomb!

We took inspo from our air fryer cheese curds for this recipe! Nice and cheesy, super gooey and melty, and impossible to resist!

Ingredient Notes:

Pimento cheese bite ingredients spread out on a countertop.

Biscuits– Flaky layers biscuits are best for this recipe, because we’ll be splitting each biscuit in half to make 16 bombs.

Cheese – We used store bought pimento cheese this time around, but homemade is even better!

Seasoning- We’re combing melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to brush on the outside of these biscuit bombs.

How to Make Pimento Cheese Bombs in an Air Fryer:

Collage of the step of rolling pimento cheese into a rolled biscuit.

Stuff the biscuits– Separate each biscuit in half to get 16 biscuit pieces. Next drop scoops of pimento cheese into each piece of biscuit dough using a small cookie scoop. Fold up the biscuit around the cheese and roll into a ball.

Season the biscuits– Place your bites in an air fryer basket. Add your melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Brush this mixture over the bites while they are in your air fryer.

Air fry the cheese bombs-Air fry for 5-7 minutes at 350 degrees F. The biscuits should be golden brown. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving your cheese bombs.

FAQ:

What is pimento cheese?

It is simply shredded cheddar, pimento peppers, and mayo combined together into a rich and filling cheese. Great for cheese bites or a grilled cheese sandwich!

  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Notes

Grand’s Flaky Layers work best in this recipe as the biscuits are larger than most and are easier to stuff. They also peel apart nicely, making it easier to get 2 biscuits out of one.
We used store bought pimento cheese this time around, but this recipe also works well with homemade.
