Ingredients
Scale
Crazy Puffs
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Dipping Sauce
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a hot environment for baking the puffs evenly.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to make it easier to wrap around the cheese.
- Stuff Biscuits: Place a small cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit dough piece.
- Seal Puffs: Fold the biscuit dough around the cheese cube, pinching the edges together tightly to seal and form a puff.
- Prepare Seasoning Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter with garlic powder and dried Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Brush Puffs: Place the cheese stuffed puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Brush each puff generously with the seasoned butter mixture.
- Bake: Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Optional Parmesan: Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while still warm to add an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve: Serve the Crazy Puffs warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy this gooey, flavorful appetizer or snack!
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with other cheese like cheddar or pepper jack for different flavors.
- Make sure to seal the biscuit dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Use fresh or dried Italian seasoning blends, depending on availability.
- These puffs can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- For a crispy crust, try baking on a pizza stone or preheated baking tray.
