Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a deep-dish pie plate.
- Roll out biscuits, one at a time, into thin rough 7-inch circles.
- Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese in the center.
- Add 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce and 2 tablespoons each of Swiss cheese, stuffing, and turkey.
- Pull dough up around the filling until fully encased in biscuit dough, pinching to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining biscuits, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, Swiss cheese, stuffing, and turkey.
Baking
- Place bombs in the prepared pie plate, seam-sides down, placing 7 bombs around the rim of the plate and 1 in the middle.
- Brush melted butter over the top of each bomb; season with salt and black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until deep golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating once.
Serving
- Cool bombs on a wire rack before eating, about 15 minutes.
- Serve hot with warmed gravy for dipping.
Notes
Make sure to seal the biscuit dough tightly around the filling to prevent leaks while baking. You can prepare the bombs ahead of time and bake them right before serving for fresh treats. Variations include using different proteins like ham or chicken, and adding vegetables for extra flavor.
