Ingredients 0/4

1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands!®) 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste 16 slices pepperoni 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

These puffs are packed with gooey cheese and flavorful toppings inside a crispy, golden crust. They make a fun and satisfying snack or meal that everyone will enjoy. Plus, they are easy to make and perfect for sharing.

Directions

Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the biscuits apart and lay them out on your workspace. Roll each biscuit out with a rolling pin until it’s about twice as big as before. Sprinkle a little garlic salt over each one, then add two slices of pepperoni. Next, pile on a good amount of mozzarella cheese, but save about two tablespoons for later. Fold the edges of the dough over the toppings and pinch them together tightly so nothing spills out. Place the stuffed biscuits on a baking sheet, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Pop them in the oven and bake for around 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the biscuits turn golden brown.
