Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the dough onto a clean, lightly floured work surface. Slice the dough into 3 equal strips widthwise. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce, about 2 tablespoons, onto each dough strip, making sure to leave a border without sauce. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the cheese onto each strip. Line up the meatballs side by side along the length of each dough strip. You should get about 10 meatballs per strip.
- Roll the dough up to cover the meatballs, forming a log. Slice the log in between each meatball, then pinch the dough together on one end of each sliced piece to seal. Put the pieces on the baking sheet pinched-side down (exposed meatball side up). Top each with about a teaspoon of sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.
- Bake until the dough is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving. Serve with warm pizza or marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Steps:
- For the meatballs: Combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the pork, Parmesan, salt, fennel seeds, garlic, onion, paprika, crushed red pepper, egg, parsley and a few turns of black pepper and mix to combine. It's easiest to do this with your hands. Form into 16 balls, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Flatten each biscuit with your palm, add a half piece of mozzarella and top with a meatball. Pinch the edges of the dough around each meatball to seal. Place seam-side down in a 9-inch square baking dish. Bake until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
- When the biscuits have baked for 30 minutes, brush them with the butter mixture, sprinkle with the parsley, Parmesan and some flaky salt and continue to bake until golden and cooked through, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let cool slightly and serve with warm marinara for dipping.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450°F.

Brush tops and sides with remaining butter; sprinkle evenly with cheese.
- Bake at least 12 minutes until tops are slightly browned and dough is cooked through.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Add the oil to a pan on medium-high heat and cook the onions and garlic until deeply caramelized.
- Mix in tomato sauce, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, dried basil and oregano. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add pre-cooked meatballs and coat them with sauce. Remove sauce from heat.
- Roll out three rectangles of puff pastry. One should be 16-inches (41 cm) long, one 22-inches (56 cm) long and the third, 28-inches (71 cm) long. All three should be about 6-inches (15 cm) wide.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese in a line across the bottom of each strip, then place meatballs on top in a line about 1-inch (2 cm) apart from each other.

- Add marinara sauce to the oven safe bowl.
- Brush egg wash over the entire ring and sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese on top. Cover sauce with foil.

These little biscuits have meatballs and cheese inside. Dip them in marinara sauce for a yummy snack. They would even be great as a side with soup. The layer type biscuits work best for this appetizer. I found this recipe in a Pillsbury cookbook. *****UPDATE*****Since posting, I have begun using my own homemade meatballs for this recipe (usually prepared the day before and refrigerated until needed). I had purchased a bag of ready-made meatballs that weren't the best quality and was really unhappy with the results for the appetizer. Just thought I would pass on the info...
