Pepperoni Pizza Bombs is all about cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and garlic powder in a simple main course with big flavor.
Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 8-12 oz. shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tsp. Garlic powder
  • 5 oz. quartered pepperoni
  • 4-6 tbsp. pecorino Romano
  • 1 stick of butter
  • Italian seasoning
  • 7-8 cloves of fresh garlic chopped
  • Parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp. Crushed red pepper
  • 4-5 tbsp. hot honey
  • 2 containers of refrigerator biscuits slightly less
  • about 1/2 cup of Pizza sauce
  • Additional mozzarella and parsley for topping

Method
 

  1. Preparing the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine 8 oz. of cream cheese, 8-12 oz. of shredded mozzarella, a sprinkle of garlic powder, approximately 5 oz. of quartered pepperoni, and 4-6 tbsp. of pecorino Romano. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
  2. Creating the Butter Seasoning: In another bowl, melt a stick of butter. To the melted butter, add Italian seasoning, 7-8 cloves of chopped fresh garlic, a dash of garlic powder, a sprinkle of parsley flakes, crushed red pepper to taste, and approximately 4-5 tbsp. of hot honey. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful butter seasoning.
  3. Assembling the Pizza Bombs: Take the refrigerated biscuits and split them in half. Flatten each biscuit half and place a small dollop of pizza sauce in the center. Add a spoonful of the prepared cheese mixture on top of the sauce. Carefully roll up the biscuit, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Repeat this process for all the biscuit halves.
  4. Preparing the Pan: Grease a cast iron pan or a similar-sized oven-safe pan to ensure the pizza bombs donโ€™t stick. Arrange the rolled-up pizza bombs closely together in the pan, leaving no elbow room. This proximity will create a cozy, baked-to-perfection result.
  5. Adding the Flavors: Pour the prepared butter seasoning over the pizza bombs, covering them generously. Sprinkle additional shredded mozzarella and parsley flakes on top for an extra burst of flavor.
  6. Baking Time: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Place the pan with the pizza bombs in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. If desired, you can increase the temperature to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) for an additional minute or two to achieve a golden brown finish.
  7. Share Your Creations: Once baked to perfection, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly. Donโ€™t forget to capture the irresistible sight of the golden-brown pizza bombs and share your creations on social media!
