Ingredients For Pizza Cupcakes

  • 1 16 ounce. can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 2 teaspoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • 1 Cup Pizza Sauce
  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup bacon crumbles
  • 32 pepperoni slices 2 for each pizza

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then you will want to cut your biscuits in half to make 16 pieces.
  • Then grease your muffin pan well, and then with your hands gently stretch the biscuit dough a bit.
  • Next, place the biscuit dough in each muffin tin spot. You want it to create a hollow area in the center.
  • Sprinkle the edges of the biscuits with the Everything Bagel seasoning, or Swap with Italian seasoning.
  • Now, spoon in some of the pizza sauce, shredded cheese, bacon, and pepperoni slices.
  • Bake the biscuit pizzas in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
  • Remove the pizza cupcakes, allow to cool a little then serve.

Notes

You can use crescent rolls to replace the biscuit dough.
Any of your favorite biscuit dough will work for this recipe.
Feel free to change up with the fillings - small diced peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc. Or do just cheese and sauce for a meatless pizza cup.
You can make as many or as few of these as you would like.
Store the leftover pizza cups in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Then you can freeze them as well for up to 3 months. Just place in an airtight freezer container or freezer bag.
If gluten-free you can do this with gluten-free biscuits as well.
To air-fry: Use silicone mold or a smaller muffin tin and batch cook your mini pizzas. 350 degrees for 6-10 minutes or until the pizza cups are fully cooked.
