# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its the perfect mashup of fluffy biscuits and cheesy pizza flavors that everyone actually agrees on
  • You can throw it together in 15 minutes and let the oven do the rest while you decompress
02 -
  • Do not skip the resting time or the cheese will slide right off when you try to serve it
  • The biscuits will continue puffing slightly after you pull it out, so do not worry if they seem a little underdone at 30 minutes
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to cut the biscuits right over the dish and save yourself a cutting board to wash
  • Layer some pepperoni underneath the cheese too so it gets crispy but stays protected from burning
