Pizza Muffin Recipe
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray the wells of a 12-muffin tray with olive oil spray.
- Cut each biscuit into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped biscuits and olive oil to a large bowl and toss to coat.
- Place in a bowl and add all the other ingredients except the marinara.
- Toss to coat.
- Divide the mixture equally between the 12 muffin wells.
- Bake until the pizza bites are puffed and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Top with garlic butter if using, and serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Cheese meltability: Pre-grated cheese contains preservatives like potato starch and natamycin, meant to keep the shreds from clumping together in the bag. That means the cheese won't melt well when used for cooking. If you want the classic Cheese Pull, grate your own.
- Freshly grated cheese does not contain those additives, so your recipes will turn out less clumpy and much smoother.
- Use any sized muffin tin you like, or for a larger presentation, use a bundt pan, but remember to adjust the cooking time. Mini muffins will cook through quicker than the larger bundt pan option.
- Bundt Pan Cooking Instructions: Double the recipe for the bundt pan option and use 2 cans of biscuits. Preheat oven to 350°. Cover your bundt pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Ingredients: You can toss in sliced black olives, chopped bell peppers, onion, sausage, bacon, diced ham, jalapenos, or your favorite topping combination. If you plan on doing sausage pizza bites, pre-cook the sausage in a skillet before tossing it with the other ingredients – likewise with the bacon, bell peppers, and onions (until they are partially softened).
