Ingredients
4 ounce
Shredded Mozzarella
(Contains: Milk)
5 ounce
Marinara Cup
2 unit
Pillsbury™ Buttermilk Southern Homestyle Biscuits
(Contains: Wheat)
Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine half the marinara with half the mozzarella. Separate biscuit dough and place on a flat, lightly floured surface. Roll out each biscuit into a 3-inch round. To center of each round, add about 1 tsp tomato-cheese filling (leave a ½-inch border around the edges). Fold dough around filling; pinch edges together to seal. Place pizza pockets, sealed sides down, on prepared sheet, about 2 inches apart. Evenly brush tops of pockets with a large drizzle of oil and top with remaining cheese. Bake on middle rack until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Serve with any remaining marinara for dipping!
