Ingredients
Scale
1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the biscuit dough into 10 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers or a rolling pin until it forms a small circle.
Place about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Top the sauce with a small amount of mozzarella cheese and 3-4 mini pepperoni slices.
Bring the edges of the biscuit up and over the filling, pinching them together firmly to seal the dough completely, forming a ball. Place the sealed ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the pizza bombs.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
If using, sprinkle the tops with Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the oven.
Serve these hot, cheesy finger food appetizers warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can brush the tops with garlic butter after they come out of the oven instead of before baking.
If you do not have mini pepperoni, you can cut standard pepperoni slices into quarters.
These are excellent game day food and freeze well before baking.
