Few dishes offer the same addictive contrast of flavors and textures as these lobster-stuffed biscuit bombs. They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and bursting with juicy seafood. The garlic butter glaze melts into every crevice, making each bite exceptionally rich and memorable. Whether you’re preparing a special dinner, impressing guests, or simply indulging in something extraordinary, this recipe delivers stunning flavor with approachable ingredients.
These biscuit bombs start with a simple dough—either homemade or canned biscuits—but what transforms them into something gourmet is the lobster stuffing. Chopped lobster meat, herbs, melted butter, garlic, lemon, and spices combine into a filling that oozes out slightly once baked, creating that dramatic, mouth-watering look in the picture.
The baking process is what gives these biscuit bombs their signature golden crust. When brushed with garlic butter before and after baking, the biscuits develop crisp, rustic edges while staying soft and tender inside. The lobster becomes warm, buttery, and aromatic, turning each biscuit into a seafood treat that rivals restaurant appetizers.
What makes this recipe especially irresistible is that you can customize it easily. You may use fresh lobster, frozen lobster, crabmeat, or even shrimp. The garlic butter can be adjusted to include herbs like parsley, thyme, dill, or chives. And if you want extra decadence, adding cheese such as cheddar, parmesan, or mozzarella inside the biscuits works beautifully too.
Now let’s walk through the full detailed recipe so you can recreate exactly what you see in the image.
Ingredients
For the biscuit bombs:
2 cups all-purpose flour (if making homemade dough) or 1 can of biscuit dough
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
½ cup cold butter, cubed
¾ cup cold milk (if making dough from scratch)
For the lobster filling:
1 to 1½ cups cooked lobster meat, chopped
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
For the garlic butter glaze:
4 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
½ teaspoon lemon zest
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
If you’re making dough from scratch, whisk the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles small crumbs. Pour in the cold milk and stir until a soft dough forms. Avoid over-mixing to maintain fluffy biscuits.
If you’re using canned biscuit dough, simply separate the biscuits and flatten each one slightly.
Prepare the Lobster Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and seasoning. Stir well until the mixture is evenly coated and aromatic. The filling should look glossy and moist—this ensures the lobster stays tender inside the biscuit.
Assemble the Biscuit Bombs
Take a flattened biscuit or piece of dough and place a spoonful of lobster filling in the center. Gently fold the dough around it, pinching tightly to seal the edges. The goal is to fully cover the filling so none leaks out during baking.
Form all biscuit bombs and place them seam-side down on a greased baking sheet or in a baking pan.
Brush with Garlic Butter
Melt the butter in a small pan and add garlic, parsley, lemon zest, and pepper. Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs generously. This creates that golden, herb-speckled finish you see in the picture.
Bake
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are deeply golden and slightly crispy. The butter will bubble and caramelize, giving the biscuits a beautiful crust.
Final Garlic Butter Glaze
Once the biscuit bombs come out of the oven, brush them again with the remaining garlic butter. This final touch melts into the cracks and brings the whole dish to life.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with extra lemon wedges on the side. These biscuit bombs pair well with:
Creamy mashed potatoes
Caesar salad
Garlic pasta
Grilled vegetables
A cold glass of lemonade or white wine
The golden, crispy exterior and the buttery, tender lobster inside make these absolutely irresistible. They’re ideal for dinner parties, holidays, or luxurious seafood nights at home.
Because of their richness and beautiful presentation, these lobster biscuit bombs are also excellent for restaurant-style plating. The glossy garlic butter on the plate combined with the herbs makes the dish visually stunning.
Storage & Reheating
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes. This restores the crispy exterior while keeping the filling moist.
