Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 20–25 mini pepperoni slices or regular pepperoni cut into quarters
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100 g)
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 25 g)
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Open the can and separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each biscuit piece into a 3-4 inch circle.
  3. Press each flattened biscuit dough piece firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to create a dough bowl.
  4. Add a teaspoon of pizza sauce inside each dough cup (optional). Then add a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Finish with a pinch of dried oregano and garlic powder.
  5. Brush the exposed dough edges lightly with melted butter.
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 15-18 minutes until cheese bubbles and edges are golden and crispy. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
  7. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before gently removing with a butter knife or spatula.
  8. Serve warm for best taste. Reheat in a toaster or conventional oven if desired.

Notes

If biscuit dough is sticky, dust hands with flour for easier shaping. Do not overload cups to avoid spills. Brush dough edges with melted butter for golden crispness. Use metal muffin tins for best crisping. Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add extra baking time if baking cold. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 2 months and reheat from frozen.
