Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.5 cup Marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
Using your fingers, gently press each biscuit quarter into a mini muffin cup, making a small well in the center for the toppings.
Place approximately 1 teaspoon of marinara or pizza sauce into the well of each biscuit. Spread it slightly to coat the base.
Sprinkle each with a small pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by a single slice of pepperoni or your favorite pizza topping.
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the dough is lightly golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the pizza bites are baking, mix the grated Parmesan cheese with olive oil in a small bowl to create a topping drizzle.
Remove the pizza bites from the oven and immediately brush or drizzle the Parmesan and olive oil mixture over the top of each one.
Let the pizza bites cool slightly in the muffin tin for 2–3 minutes before removing them. Use a small spatula or spoon to gently lift them out.
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy, savory pizza bites! They are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or party food.
