Sausage & Pepperoni Pizza Puffs - quick Bisquick and buttermilk drop biscuits loaded with sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella, and Italian seasoning. SO good! Super simple to make and ready in minutes! These make a great appetizer, snack, and a quick lunch or dinner. I usually double the recipe for parties because these things fly off the plate! Serve with some warm pizza sauce or marinara. Use gluten-free Bisquick for a gluten-free snack.
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, cook and crumble sausage until no longer pink; drain.
In a bowl, combine Bisquick biscuit mix, Italian seasoning, and cheese; stir in sausage and pepperoni. Slowly add buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. You may have some leftover buttermilk.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough, and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
Notes:
I garnished the puffs with dried parsley.
I used Jimmy Dean's hot sausage. You can substitute turkey sausage for a lower-calorie option.
I used Hormel mini pepperoni. You can use any pepperoni that you enjoy in this dish.
Use Gluten-Free Bisquick for a gluten-free recipe.
Feel free to add any of your favorite pizza toppings to the dough - mushrooms, peppers, onions, olives.
I used a medium cookie scoop to make the puffs. You can use a small cookie scoop or a large cookie scoop. You will just need to adjust the cooking time.
Can pizza puffs be frozen? Yes! You can freeze the leftover biscuits for later. Let the biscuits cool completely and place in a freezer bag and freeze. Reheat in the microwave or covered in foil in the oven.
