Recipe: New York-Style Cheesy Pizza Bombs

Ingredients:

• 8-count can of biscuits, cut in half (16 pieces)
• 1/2 of an 8 oz ball of fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1" pieces
• 16 slices of pepperoni, cut into quarters
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon parsley

• Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
2. Cut your biscuits in half and roll them into balls, then press each one out into a flat circle.
3. Layer four pepperoni quarters and one slice of mozzarella in the center of each biscuit circle.
4. Carefully bring the sides of the biscuit dough up and press them together to seal, forming a ball. Place each ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, oregano, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
6. Brush the butter mixture generously over the top of each biscuit ball.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
