Mini Pizzas

This is a throwback to middle school when we were required to take a 6-week cooking class and made ridiculously easy things. This was one of the recipes we made, and it was so dead-simple I've remembered it  with no problem for... oy... 14 years?

Anyway, moving along from how old I am, this recipe is great for people who "can't" cook, don't have a lot of time, have kids, or are none of the above but just like pizza. Which is everyone, right? It's super simple, super versatile, and super quick. I had these done within half an hour of walking in from the grocery store.

1 can of biscuits, regular or jumbo depending on your preference. I got jumbo but I think I'd go with regular from now on. I was just really hungry and my concept of size and portions goes out the window when I get hungry.

1 jar of pizza sauce.

Cheese! Who doesn't love cheese? I got two types of cheese, Pizza Blend and Taco Blend, because I really, really, really just love cheese and variety.

Toppings of your choice! I picked pepperoni, a classic, but in the future I would love to experiment with chicken, onion, garlic, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella, ham and pineapple, etc. But no olives. I despise olives.

Olives

Celery

I preheated my toaster oven to 400F, which is probably more like 425F since it gets hotter than it should but it's not the end of the world. I covered a tray with aluminum foil and cooking spray because I'm lazy and hate washing dishes. I unwrapped the can of biscuits, jumped when it popped open, and smooshed four biscuits out flat on the tray. The rest of the biscuits went in a Ziploc bag and into the fridge.

I just used a large spoon to spread sauce on the biscuits.

This is the fun part, this is the part where you get your kids involved making a huge mess with cheese and generally destroying the kitchen, but the end result is worth it! I think it would be a lot of fun to have a pizza bar at a party, with a ton of different cheeses and toppings for everyone to make their own mini pizza!

I baked them at 400-425F for about 12-15 minutes, until the cheese was melted and the biscuits looked done.

Verdict: Super delicious, quick, and easy! I ate two immediately and took the other two to work for dinner. I ate the leftovers cold and they were still delicious. I'm tempted to go make four more right now! I also want to try a variation that is made in a muffin tin. Because I'm just in love with things made in a muffin tin right now!
