Description
Irresistible bite-sized pizza bombs filled with gooey mozzarella, pepperoni, and pizza sauce, wrapped in flaky biscuit dough and brushed with aromatic garlic butter. Perfect for game day appetizers or casual entertaining!
Ingredients
For the Pizza Bombs:
1 can (8-count) Southern Homestyle buttermilk biscuits, not flaky
1 cup pizza sauce, divided (½ cup for filling, ½ cup for dipping)
½ cup mini pepperoni slices, divided
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 16 equal-sized cubes
For the Garlic Butter:
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick spray.
2. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit to ⅛-inch thickness (about 4 inches diameter).
3. Top each biscuit with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon pepperoni, and 2 cheese cubes, leaving ½-inch border.
4. Carefully fold edges over filling and pinch seams to seal completely. Place seam-side down in prepared skillet.
5. Bake 20-22 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Mix melted butter with garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
7. Brush hot pizza bombs generously with garlic butter mixture immediately after baking.
Notes
Don’t overfill the bombs to prevent leakage during baking.
Keep biscuit dough cold until ready to use for easier handling.
For extra flavor, reserve some garlic butter to brush on just before serving.
Can be made ahead and frozen for up to 1 month before baking.
