Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs (Print Version)


Step 2: Form the Bombs

  1. Divide the ground beef mixture into 12 equal portions (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Flatten each portion into a thin patty.
  2. Place a small spoonful of shredded cheese (about 1 teaspoon) in the center of each patty. Carefully wrap the beef around the cheese, sealing it completely to prevent leaking. Roll each ball gently between your palms to form a smooth sphere.
  3. Dip each ball into the beaten egg, then roll it in the coating mixture (Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, parsley, and red pepper flakes). Press gently to ensure the coating adheres.

Step 3: Bake Until Golden

  1. Arrange the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  2. Bake for 18–20 minutes , or until the bombs are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) .
  3. For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end—watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove the bombs from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
  2. Serve warm with marinara sauce, ketchup, or aioli for dipping.
