Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 cup diced Roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a glass baking dish or a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Press each biscuit into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a muffin cup or space them out in a greased baking dish, forming small shallow cups to hold the filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, mozzarella, cheddar, mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
- Spoon a generous amount of the cheese and tomato filling into the center of each biscuit cup, mounding it slightly on top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about five minutes before serving. Use a spoon or small spatula to lift them out carefully.
- Serve warm and watch them disappear within minutes.
Tips for the Best Results
Pat your diced tomatoes dry with a paper towel before mixing them into the filling. This prevents excess moisture from making the biscuit bottoms soggy. You can also swap in diced roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for a deeper, sweeter flavor.
For an extra golden top, switch your oven to broil for the last two minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on them so the cheese does not burn. A light broil gives that perfectly blistered, restaurant-style finish that makes these look absolutely stunning on any table.
Make-Ahead and Storage
You can mix the filling the night before and store it covered in the refrigerator. When you are ready to bake, simply press out your biscuits and fill them fresh. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat beautifully in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350 degrees for about eight minutes.
