07 -
Cooking spray or oil to grease the tins
08 -
8 refrigerated biscuits (16 ounce package)
09 -
¼ cup pasta sauce or pizza sauce, use a meatless variety
10 -
3 ounces pepperoni, chopped

7-8 ounces shredded mozzarella
# Let's Cook!:
01 -
Combine the softened butter, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to combine
02 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray (or oil) the muffin pan lightly with cooking spray. Use a paper towel to dab away excess oil so that it is not pooling at the bottom of the tins
03 -
Open the biscuit package and separate them. Place a biscuit in the muffin tin and press gently to mold on the bottom and on the sides. Continue molding and pressing as it bounces back until it is securely in the pan. Repeat with the rest of the biscuits
04 -
Use a fork to prick the biscuits a few times on the bottoms and sides. Brush the inside of the biscuits with the prepared butter mixture
05 -
Brush the inside lightly with the pasta (pizza) sauce (about ½ heaping teaspoon). Fill with 1 heaping tablespoon of mozzarella cheese. Then with ½ heaping tablespoon pepperoni. Repeat with 1 tablespoon mozzarella and ½ tablespoon pepperoni. Sprinkle the top with a pinch of Italian seasoning, if desired
06 -
If using individual foil cups, place them on a sheet pan before baking. Bake 20-23 minutes or until the edges of the biscuit crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted
07 -
Gently lift them out of the muffin pan, arrange them on a plate or platter and serve. Or you can put them out in the individual tins if desired
# Cook's Notes:
01 -
Check on them after 15-18 minutes to gauge remaining cooking time
02 -
Rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through cooking if your oven has hot spots
03 -
May need to use a spatula to separate biscuits if they're touching
