Eye of Newt - Stuffed Pesto Balls

Fall is in the air, and baking begins again!

You are going to love this super simple and delicious

mozzarella stuffed delight!

Yes, it is true,

Beaulah has returned from her long hibernation,

and I am flying around on my broomstick!

She and I have been baking and

decorating and crafting - ready to 

PARTY until Halloween comes!!!

I put on my baking hat

- tee hee - 

and we whipped these morsels

up for you.  Fresh out of the oven

on these cool fall days, they are perfect.

They are the easiest things in the world

open a can of Pillsbury Baking Biscuits, and

cut each one in half.  Wrap a cube of mozzarella

that you have cut from a block of cheese inside.

The dough is so sticky, it will do a good job

of sealing without any added water.

Dip in pesto.  You could make it yourself with

all of your wonderful basil at this time of year,

or do it simple like I did and use a premade one.

I used Costco's pesto.

Spray a 9 inch cake pan with cooking oil and

place all sixteen of them in and bake at 375 for 20-25

minutes, or until you separate one and see that it 

is no longer doughy.

The cheesy gooeyness just oozes out!

Serve with a side of marinara sauce.

My friend Rachel first made these

for me and gave me the instruction.

Stuffed Mozzarella Pesto Balls Recipe

1 can Pillsbury Biscuits (8)

1 lb. block mozzarella cheese, cut into 3/4 inch cubes

1-2 C. prepared pesto

Open can of biscuits, and cut each in half.  Flatten

and place a cube of cheese in the center.  

Wrap the dough around the cheese, sealing

the edges.  Spray a 9 inch round pan and

place balls in pan.  They should all fit.

Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until

lightly browned and cheese is melted.

Check to make sure the dough is baked

through by separating two balls.

Serve immediately while cheese is warm and

oozing.

For Halloween - just give them a fun label, like

Eye of Newt or Oozing Wart Balls

it is all in the name!
