Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Spoon
  • Small bowl
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Buttermilk biscuits jumbo
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese block cubed
  • 2 oz mini pepperonis
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Grated parmesan cheese
  • Optional dipping sauce such as marinara or pizza sauce

Instructions
 

  • Set your air fryer to 350 degrees F and lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • On a clean work surface, open the can of biscuits and split each biscuit into two pieces.
  • In the center of each biscuit, place a cube of mozzarella cheese and a few slices of pepperoni.
  • Pinch the edges of the biscuit dough together and roll to form a sealed ball. Place the seam side down on a cutting board.
  • Arrange the pizza bombs in a single layer on the air fryer tray. Brush each pizza bomb with the butter mixture of melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Depending on your air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time by 1-2 minutes for a crispier finish.
  • Serve with marinara sauce or pizza sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking during cooking.
Store leftover pizza bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To make in the oven, preheat your oven to 375°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pizza bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet, brush with seasoned butter, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
