List of Ingredients




1 can refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup good-quality marinara sauce
16 fresh basil leaves
3 balls (about 8 ounces) fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 16 pieces
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)




Recipe



1. Preheat the oven to the temperature on the package. Brush each biscuit on the top and bottom with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions.

2. While the biscuits are baking, heat the sauce in a small saucepan on the stove, or in the microwave.

3. Remove the biscuits from the oven when done. If the oven is below 400°F, raise the temperature to 400°F. Cut the biscuits in half crosswise to make two rounds. Place each half cut side up on the. baking sheet. Top each with a brushing of olive oil, 1 tablespoon sauce, a basil leaf, and a mozzarella slice. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes.

4. Arrange the pizza puffs attractively on a large platter. If using them, sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the pizza puffs, making sure that each has at least a couple of flakes. Serve while still hot.

YIELD: 16 Puffs
