Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 16 ounce can jumbo biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 5 tablespoons chopped pepperoni
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt (optional)
- Vegetable oil spray (for waffle iron)
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the pizza waffles.
- Prepare Biscuits: Roll or gently pat each jumbo biscuit into a large thin circle to create the base and top for each stuffed pizza waffle.
- Add Toppings: On four of the rolled-out biscuits, evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, and optional garlic salt for added flavor.
- Seal Biscuits: Place the remaining four biscuits on top of the prepared ones and press the edges together firmly to seal the filling inside, forming a stuffed pizza pocket.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly spray the inside of the waffle iron with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and ensure a crispy texture.
- Cook Waffles: Place one stuffed pizza biscuit at a time into the waffle iron and cook until the outside turns golden brown and crispy, typically about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Repeat Cooking: Carefully remove the cooked pizza waffle and continue cooking the remaining stuffed biscuits in the same manner.
- Serve: Enjoy your stuffed pepperoni pizza waffles warm, optionally served with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the edges of the biscuits are well sealed to prevent the cheese from leaking during cooking.
- For extra flavor, try adding Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes inside the filling.
- If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can also cook these in a skillet over medium heat, pressing down gently until golden on both sides.
- Use gluten-free biscuits if you want a gluten-free version of this recipe.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, as waffles tend to lose crispness when cooled.
