Ingredients
Instructions
- Flatten one biscuit on a pan.
- Spread pizza sauce on the biscuit.
- Add cheese and pepperoni on top.
- Bake at 325°F for 5 to 10 minutes until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispy base, make sure to flatten the biscuits evenly. You can substitute the pepperoni with vegetables for a vegetarian option or use leftover cooked meats. If you want a twist, try adding some Italian herbs to the pizza sauce for extra flavor. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, like mozzarella or cheddar, for varied taste.
Serving Suggestions
These mini pizzas are perfect for a casual gathering or game day snacks. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or some crunchy veggie sticks for a balanced meal. For a fun twist, pair them with Kool-Aid Lemon Pies for dessert. They also make great appetizers at parties.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pizza bites in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the biscuits soggy.
