Cheesy Pizza-Stuffed Pumpkins are a whimsical appetizer that combines comfort food with festive charm.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 can Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Biscuits
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 8 Pretzel Sticks

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, along with kosher salt and black pepper. Stir until well blended and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut each biscuit into 16 equal pieces, roll each into a ball, then flatten to form rounds about 3.5 to 4 inches in diameter.
  3. On each dough round, place about a tablespoon of the chilled filling in the center. Pinch the edges together to seal and flatten the base to stand upright.
  4. Tie kitchen twine around the top section of each stuffed dough ball to create a pumpkin shape. Chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  6. Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan, add minced garlic, chopped parsley, and paprika. Brush the warm garlic herb butter glaze over each pumpkin after baking.
  7. Remove the kitchen twine and insert a pretzel stick into the top of each stuffed pumpkin to serve as a decorative stem.
  8. Serve warm with marinara sauce.

Notes

  • Chill the dough before baking to keep the filling intact.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
