Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (about 16 ounces) Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Mini pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 inches in diameter using your hands or a rolling pin.
Press each flattened biscuit into the muffin tin cups, ensuring the dough reaches the sides and forms a small cup shape.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture lightly over the inside of the dough cups for added flavor.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce into each dough cup, spreading it slightly to cover the bottom.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, filling the cups almost to the top.
Add a few mini pepperoni slices on top of the cheese in each cup, or customize with any toppings you prefer (like diced bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms).
Finish by sprinkling a little grated Parmesan cheese over the toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the dough are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the pizza snack cups to cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove them from the tin using a butter knife or small spatula.
Serve warm and enjoy! These snacks are great on their own or paired with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
