Tips and Conclusion

For an elevated experience, consider adding pickles or jalapeños to the filling before sealing the dough. This little addition can bring a delightful tang or spice that pairs beautifully with the other flavors. You may also opt for a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top of the bombs before you pop them in the oven for a touch reminiscent of classic burger buns. When it comes to storing leftovers, if you happen to have any (which is rare!), place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, these bombs freeze exceptionally well—just ensure they are fully cooled before freezing. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, pop them back in the oven to reheat until warm.
