👨🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin or 9×13″ baking dish.
-
Prepare the dough:
-
If using biscuit dough, split each biscuit in half horizontally to make thinner layers.

If using pizza dough, divide into 12 small pieces and flatten each into a circle.
-
-
Stuff the rolls:
-
Place a tablespoon or so of cheese into the center of each dough round.
-
Fold up the edges and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball.
-
-
Make garlic butter:
-
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic, parsley, and Parmesan.
-
-
Assemble:
-
Place rolls seam-side down in the muffin tin or baking dish.
-
Brush generously with garlic butter.
-
-
Bake:
-
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
-
Brush with any remaining garlic butter once out of the oven.
-
-
Serve warm with marinara, ranch, or on their own!
💡 Tips & Variations

Add-ins: Pepperoni slices, crumbled bacon, or jalapeños can go inside with the cheese.
