Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
  3. Press each refrigerated biscuit into a muffin tin cup to form a crust.
  4. Brush the inside of each biscuit crust with the butter mixture and add a spoonful of pasta sauce.
  5. Layer shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, ensuring to pack the filling without overfilling.
  6. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes until the crust is golden-brown and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin and serve hot.

Notes

Sauté vegetables or meats before adding to avoid soggy crust and maximize flavor. Experiment with different fillings for variety.
