Cheesy Pizza Bombs
Ingredients:
1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuits, each biscuit cut in half (16 pieces total)
1/2 of an 8 oz ball fresh mozzarella, sliced into about 1-inch pieces
16 slices pepperoni, each cut into quarters
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Marinara sauce, for serving
Instructions:
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Assemble the Pizza Bombs:
Take each half of a biscuit and roll it into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a round circle about 3 inches in diameter.
Place 4 pieces of quartered pepperoni on each flattened biscuit round.
Top the pepperoni with a slice of mozzarella.
Forming the Bombs:
Carefully bring the sides of the biscuit round up and around the filling.
Pinch the edges together to seal tightly, forming a ball. Make sure no filling is exposed.
Prepare the Herb Butter:
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Baking:
Place each assembled pizza bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of each pizza bomb generously with the herb butter mixture.
Bake the Pizza Bombs:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
Serving:
Remove the pizza bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
