- Cut each Grands! biscuit into 8 equal pieces. Tuck one tiny cube of cheese into each biscuit piece and pinch the dough together to seal. Roll lightly between your palms to form each cheese-stuffed biscuit piece into a ball shape.1 can Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits, 3 - 3.5 oz. brick cheese cut into 64 small cubes

- Grab your greased cupcake tin and place four biscuit balls on the bottom of each cup.
- Now add your toppings! I sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of grated Tillamook cheddar cheese and a bit of diced pepperoni on each biscuit bite before placing about one tablespoon of sliced pickled peppers on top.1 cup grated Tillamook medium cheddar cheese, 3 - 4 pieces pepperoni, Approx. 1 cup sliced pickled peppers
- Bake the biscuit bites for 11 minutes at 400°F. The cheese should be melty and the edges should be golden when they are done, as seen below.
- Serve these pull-apart biscuit bites right out of the oven while they are still warm. Enjoy! Feel free to dip in marinara or garlic butter if you so choose.
Notes from the Happy To Be Here Kitchen
Note 1. Cheese: I stuff the biscuit pieces with onion brick cheese, which adds just a tiny bit of flavor to the biscuit bites. You can tuck whatever cheese you like in the biscuit pieces, but I would suggest choosing a cheese that melts fairly easily so you get that gooey, cheesy bite when you serve these right out of the oven.
While the cubes of cheese you stuff in the biscuit pieces may seem small, you will be able to taste them. You do not want the cubes to be so large that they burst out of the biscuit bites while baking.
Note 2. Toppings: Feel free to change the quantities of each topping to suit your taste buds, or add your own favorite toppings to these. For me, the toppings that make these extra yummy are the grated cheese and these homemade sweet and spicy pickled peppers. Some other topping ideas include diced jalapenos, olives, more cheese, a pinch of Italian seasoning, some fresh basil, or any of your other favorite pizza toppings.
Note 3. Cupcake Tin: If you’d like, use cupcake wrappers in each cup to make serving easier. Just be sure to grease the wrappers before assembling your biscuit bites. Note that you may not get the same golden, slightly crunchy crust on the outside of the biscuit bites if you use wrappers.
