Ingredients
 

  • 1 can Pillsbury Grands biscuits, 8 count
  • 4 oz. Pepperoni slices, each one cut in half
  • 4 Mozzarella cheese sticks
  • 2 Tbs. Melted butter
  • 1 Tbs. Grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 tsp. Red pepper flakes optional
  • Pizza sauce, on the side, for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Open the can of biscuits and lay them out onto a clean work surface or a cutting board. Using your fingertips, press each biscuit out until it’s flattened to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Place a few pieces of pepperoni on top of each biscuit, then add 1-2 pieces of the mozzarella cheese sticks.
  • Gather the biscuit around the ingredients, pinching it completely closed at the top; place the pizza bomb onto the greased air fryer rack, pinched side down.
  • Repeat the process to make the remaining 7 pizza bombs, placing them all onto the air fryer, not touching. **You make have to make the pizza balls in batches depending on the size and type of your air fryer.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the Parmesan and red pepper flakes; brush the butter mixture over the pizza bombs on the air fryer rack.
  • To Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to get it good and hot. Air fry the pizza bombs at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked throughout. Brush with more Parmesan butter, if desired, before serving.
  • To Bake: Bake the pizza bombs at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked throughout. Brush with more Parmesan butter, if desired, before serving.
  • Serve warm with pizza sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
