Biscuit Pizza Bites
Ingredients
- 1 can of Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers, cut in half long ways
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ¾ cup pepperoni cut into quarters
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon italian seasonings
- Shredded parmesan for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Cut biscuits in half, splitting one biscuit into two equal circles. Using your hands or a small rolling pin, flatten each biscuit half.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together marinara sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni.
- Scoop about 1-½ tablespoons of the pizza mixture into the center of each flatten biscuit. Grad out and up the edges around the biscuit, pinching them together at the top until a ball is formed. Be sure all of the dough is pinched and connected around the pizza filling.
- Using a 12-cup muffin tin, place each bomb inside the muffin tin, pinched side down. Do this until the entire muffin tin is filled with the first 12 bombs.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and Italian seasoning.
- Using a rubber brush, brush the butter mixture over the tops of each bomb, coating them heavily.
- Top each bomb with a large pinch of parmesan cheese.
- Place pizza bombs inside of the oven and cook for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
- When done, allow bombs to cool on a cooling rack for a few minutes before serving.
