Description

Little Caesars Crazy Puffs are a delightful snack made from refrigerated biscuit dough filled with mozzarella cheese, seasoned with garlic and Italian herbs, then baked to golden perfection. Served warm with marinara sauce for dipping, these cheesy puffs are perfect for parties, game days, or a quick appetizer.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 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)
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the puffs evenly.
  2. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual biscuits and flatten each one into a thin round disc using your hands or a rolling pin.
  3. Add Cheese Filling: Place a few small cubes of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened dough round, being careful not to overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
  4. Seal the Puffs: Fold the dough over the cheese filling to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal completely.
  5. Season Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter with garlic powder and dried Italian seasoning to create a flavorful butter glaze.
  6. Brush Puffs: Place the sealed puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of each puff with the seasoned butter mixture for enhanced flavor and browning.
  7. Bake: Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Garnish: Optional: Sprinkle the baked puffs with grated Parmesan cheese right after baking while still warm for an extra cheesy touch.
  9. Serve: Serve the Crazy Puffs warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping and enjoy your cheesy, crispy snack.

Notes

  • Ensure the edges of the dough are sealed tightly to avoid cheese leakage.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for different flavors.
  • Refrigerate leftover Crazy Puffs and reheat in the oven for best texture.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter seasoning mix.
