Mozzarella Stuffed Biscuits
Cheese Stuffed Biscuits are one of those great every-now-and-then indulgences. Great as a dinner side dish or appetizer for holidays and parties. Honestly they are so filling they could be a meal alone.
We are keeping it super duper easy with refrigerated canned biscuits, prepped cheese and store bought pesto sauce. I don’t know about you, but, the older I get the lazier I seem to get.

How To Make Mozzarella Stuffed Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 350ºF
- Generously spray 9 inch round pan with nonstick.
- Gently stretch each biscuit slightly. Place 5 mozzarella pearls in the center. Bring up edges and seal biscuit around mozzarella tightly. (I use a pinching motion to seal the biscuits) Transfer sealed biscuits to pan.
- Melt butter and garlic in microwave. Brush garlic butter over biscuits.
- Bake biscuits for 17 minutes. Spread pesto over tops of biscuits and sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top. Bake for 5-7 more minutes or until cooked through.
