Making these Lobster Biscuit Bombs is exciting but requires a bit of patience in shaping the dough around the filling. The trick in the kitchen is sealing the edges well and ensuring the filling is mixed just right. Too loose, and the filling might leak; too firm, and it can be dry. Balancing the butter, cheese, and lobster ensures a creamy, luxurious bite every time.

Lobster Biscuit Bombs are the perfect combination of buttery, flaky biscuits and rich, creamy lobster filling. These little bites are indulgent, fun to make, and absolutely delicious. They are ideal for appetizers, party snacks, or a special treat when you want to impress friends and family. The creamy lobster pairs perfectly with melted cheese and a buttery biscuit exterior, making every bite decadent and satisfying.

I have tried making these for small gatherings and large parties. I use cream cheese, mozzarella, and fresh lobster meat every time to achieve that perfect flavor and texture. Always make sure the biscuits are sealed tightly to keep the filling inside and prevent any messy leaks while baking.

You can serve these warm right out of the oven, some with a drizzle of garlic butter on top, also with a side of tangy cocktail sauce or a fresh, crisp salad. They are versatile and look so beautiful on a serving platter that everyone will be drawn to them instantly.

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or mild cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
• Extra melted butter for brushing

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls (medium and large)
• Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
• Rolling pin or hands for flattening biscuits
• Small saucepan if making a butter drizzle
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Knife and cutting board for lobster meat

How to Make Lobster Biscuit Bombs

Step 1

Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheese. Stir until smooth and well blended. Add the chopped lobster meat, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently so the lobster stays in small chunks while evenly distributing all the flavors. If using parsley, fold it in at the end for a fresh touch. Set the filling aside.

Step 2

Prepare the biscuit dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Separate the biscuit dough and gently flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin. Try to keep the dough even so it seals properly around the filling.

Step 3

Fill the biscuit bombs: Spoon about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the lobster filling into the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching and sealing tightly to form a smooth ball. Make sure there are no gaps so the filling doesn’t leak while baking. Place each dough ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Brush and season: Lightly brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with melted butter. Sprinkle a little extra garlic powder or paprika on top if desired for added flavor and color. This step helps create a golden, buttery finish as they bake.

Step 5

Bake the biscuit bombs: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown. The bottoms should be fully cooked, and the tops should have a soft sheen from the butter. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving, as the filling will be hot and creamy.

Tips For Best Lobster Biscuit Bombs

• Seal the biscuits well: Make sure all edges are pinched tightly to avoid any filling leaking out during baking.
• Use chilled dough: Refrigerated biscuit dough works best because it’s easier to handle and holds the shape better.
• Don’t overmix filling: Mix just enough to combine lobster, cheese, and seasonings. Overmixing can make it runny.
• Brush with butter: Brushing melted butter on top helps create a golden, crispy, and flavorful crust every time.
• Preheat the oven properly: A well-heated oven ensures the biscuits cook evenly and puff nicely.
• Cut lobster into small pieces: Small chunks make it easier to fill biscuits and create an even bite every time.
• Serve warm: These taste best hot from the oven, so plan timing carefully if serving at a party.

Optional Ingredients

• Chopped green onions for freshness
• Shredded Parmesan for extra cheesy flavor
• Cayenne pepper for a mild kick
• Paprika for color and mild smokiness
• Lemon zest to brighten the lobster flavor
• Fresh dill for a delicate herbal touch

How to Serve Lobster Biscuit Bombs

I love serving these as the centerpiece of my appetizer table. They look elegant and feel special, making any gathering feel festive. I usually place them on a wooden platter or a decorative tray, so guests can easily grab a warm, gooey bite. The presentation is simple but always impresses.

I also like to serve them with a variety of dipping sauces. A classic cocktail sauce adds tang, a garlic butter sauce makes them extra decadent, and sometimes I offer a creamy mustard or aioli. It’s fun to give guests a few options so everyone can find their favorite combination.

I sometimes include a few sides to make the snack feel complete. Fresh fruit, roasted vegetables, or a lightly dressed green salad complements the rich lobster filling. For brunch or an afternoon gathering, I like pairing them with a chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water to balance the buttery richness. These little touches make the experience more enjoyable without taking attention away from the Lobster Biscuit Bombs themselves.

Is Lobster Biscuit Bombs Healthy?

Lobster Biscuit Bombs are indulgent, so they’re not exactly a health food. However, lobster is high in protein and low in fat, which makes the filling nutritious. The cheese and butter add richness, so enjoy them in moderation as a treat rather than a daily meal.

You can make small adjustments for a slightly healthier version. Using whole-grain biscuits or reducing the butter slightly can cut calories, but keep in mind that part of the magic is the buttery, cheesy biscuit exterior.

Variations and Substitutions

• Shrimp Biscuit Bombs: Swap lobster with cooked shrimp for a similar seafood flavor. The filling remains creamy and delicious.
• Crab Biscuit Bombs: Use crab meat instead of lobster for a sweeter, delicate taste. Ideal for a coastal-themed party.
• Vegetarian Bombs: Replace seafood with sautéed mushrooms and spinach. Creamy cheese keeps it rich and satisfying.
• Spicy Lobster Bombs: Add cayenne or red pepper flakes to the filling. Perfect for those who like a little heat.
• Cheese Lover’s Bombs: Mix cheddar, mozzarella, and a hint of Parmesan for extra cheesy indulgence.
• Mini Version: Use smaller biscuit dough pieces for bite-sized bombs. Great for finger food or kids’ parties.
• Herb-Infused Bombs: Fold in dill, parsley, or tarragon to brighten the lobster flavor naturally.
• Garlic Butter Drizzle: Top finished bombs with garlic butter for an added richness and slightly golden finish.

How to Store, How to Reheat

Store leftover Lobster Biscuit Bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. They are best eaten fresh, but you can keep them for short-term storage if needed. Avoid freezing as the biscuits may become soggy once reheated.

To reheat, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bombs on a baking sheet and heat for 8–10 minutes until warm and the cheese inside is soft. You can also brush a little extra butter on top to refresh the golden crust. Avoid microwaving if you want them to stay crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lobster Biscuit Bombs

Can I use frozen lobster?
Yes! Thaw it completely and pat dry with a paper towel before mixing with cheese and seasonings. Frozen lobster works well, but fresh lobster adds a slightly sweeter flavor and more delicate texture.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can assemble the bombs and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. Baking them fresh ensures the biscuits stay golden, flaky, and perfectly puffed.

Can I use pre-shredded cheese?
Yes, pre-shredded cheese melts beautifully and mixes easily with the lobster. Freshly shredded cheese gives a slightly creamier texture, but either works depending on what you have on hand.

Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Use gluten-free biscuit dough, and the flavor remains rich and delicious. The texture might be slightly different, but they will still be indulgent and satisfying.
