Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon Butter, softened (not melted)
  • ½ tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian Seasoning plus extra as topping (optional)
  • Pinch of Black Pepper
  • Cooking Spray or oil to grease the tins
  • 8 Refrigerated Biscuits (16 ounce package)

Filling

  • ¼ cup Pasta Sauce or Pizza Sauce (meatless variety)
  • 3 ounces Pepperoni, chopped
  • 7–8 ounces Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Stir well to make a smooth mixture for brushing.
  2. Preheat and prepare muffin tins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease eight muffin cups with cooking spray or oil. Dab away any excess oil with a paper towel to prevent pooling.
  3. Form biscuit crusts: Separate the biscuits and place one biscuit into each muffin cup. Press gently to mold the biscuit on the bottom and sides, stretching and pressing as needed until securely lining the tin.
  4. Prick biscuit bases: Use a fork to poke a few holes in the bottom and sides of each biscuit crust to prevent bubbling during baking.
  5. Brush with seasoning and sauce: Brush the inside of each biscuit crust generously with the prepared butter mixture, then lightly brush with about ½ heaping teaspoon of pizza sauce.
  6. Fill the pies: Add 1 heaping tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese to each crust, followed by ½ heaping tablespoon of chopped pepperoni. Repeat with another layer of 1 tablespoon mozzarella and ½ tablespoon pepperoni.
  7. Add topping: Sprinkle each filled crust with a pinch of Italian seasoning, if desired, for extra flavor.
  8. Prepare for baking: If using individual foil muffin cups, place them on a baking sheet to provide support and ease of handling.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes or until the biscuit edges turn golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  10. Serve: Carefully lift the pizza pot pies out of the muffin tin. Serve warm on a plate or platter, or directly in the tins if preferred.

Notes

  • Using refrigerated biscuits makes this recipe quick and easy.
  • Make sure not to over-oil the muffin tins to prevent soggy bottoms.
  • Pricking the biscuit crust helps prevent bubbles and uneven baking.
  • These pot pies are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated.
  • For a vegetarian version, ensure the pepperoni is meatless or substitute with vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.
  • You can add extra toppings like olives, onions, or different cheeses based on preference.
