Delicious, easy fried garlic cheese bombs are perfect appetizers for parties, game day gatherings, and use simple ingredients!
There is a restaurant in Denver’s south suburbs that has my all-time favorite food – rich, doughy, buttery garlic knots.
They are so delicious, fluffy, and light – but they are also super, super far from my house.
Being unable to find a perfect replication of their infamous knots, I wanted to put my own spin on the doughy treats – and fill them full of cheese and fry them to puffy, golden, deliciousness.
The results? I’m afraid to say they are wonderful, tempting, and so easy once you make them you will dream about when to make the next batch!
I thought a fresh garlic and cilantro topping, swimming in a buttery sauce, would be a perfect way to load these easy fried garlic cheese bombs up with delicious garlic flavor.
These garlic bombs are so cheesy and delicious- they are super addictive.
The fresh garlic and butter sauce with a hint of cilantro gives a really sultry, salty kick that you won’t be able to stop eating!
I should know.
I ate this whole platter.
I wish I was kidding…. but they were totally worth it.
