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.

Serving and Storage Tips
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.
