Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 20 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix tomato, pesto and mozzarella cheese.
  • 2
    Separate dough into 5 biscuits; cut each in fourths. Roll each biscuit piece into a smooth ball; press one in bottom and up side of each mini muffin cup. Spoon about 1 tablespoon tomato-pesto filling into each cup; press in lightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • 3
    Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until biscuit edges are golden brown. Immediately remove from pan.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For uniform cups, roll biscuit pieces into perfectly round, smooth balls before pressing into mini muffin cups.
  • tip 2
    For even more flavor, add 2 finely chopped garlic cloves to the tomato mixture.
  • tip 3
    Chopped or shredded fresh basil leaves make a pretty garnish for these appetizers.
  • tip 4
    Press dough into mini muffin cups up to an hour ahead of time. Cover with plastic wrap, and keep chilled in the refrigerator. Prepare pesto filling; cover and refrigerate. Assemble appetizers just before baking.
