- Step 1:
- Prepare the butter mixture by mixing together the softened butter, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Step 2:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a muffin tin or individual foil muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Step 3:
- Place one biscuit in each muffin tin well, pressing gently to cover the bottom and sides. Use a fork to prick the bottoms and sides to prevent puffing.
- Step 4:
- Brush the inside of each biscuit with the butter mixture, then spread about 1/2 teaspoon of pizza sauce on the bottom.
- Step 5:
- Add 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 tablespoon of chopped pepperoni. Repeat with another layer of cheese and pepperoni.
- Step 6:
- Sprinkle the tops with additional Italian seasoning if desired.
- Step 7:
- Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Step 8:
- Carefully remove the pizza pot pies from the tins and serve warm on a platter.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Customize with your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage.
- For a spicier version, use spicy pepperoni or add red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
