Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit out on a clean surface.
- In the center of each biscuit, place a few pepperoni slices along with a sprinkle of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese.
- Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal them well.
- Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the pizza bombs.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While they bake, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan for dipping.
- Serve your Triple-Cheese Pepperoni Pizza Bombs warm with the garlic butter dip and marinara sauce on the side. Enjoy!
