Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs
Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prep the Dough
Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit in half.
Flatten each piece into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 3: Fill the Bombs
In the center of each dough circle, place 1 slice of pepperoni, a small dollop of marinara sauce, and a cube of mozzarella cheese.
Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal completely.
Step 4: Season and Top
Arrange the pizza bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over each pizza bomb.
Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5: Bake
Bake the pizza bombs for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Allow the pizza bombs to cool slightly before serving.
Serve with extra marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Pair with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness of the casserole.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) or in the air fryer to maintain the crispy texture of the tater tots.
Helpful Notes
- Swap pepperoni for your favorite pizza toppings like sausage, ham, or veggies for a customized twist.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking for a spicy kick.
- Experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar or provolone, for a unique flavor.
