Notes

Don't have a biscuit cutter? You can use a drinking glass or a mason jar lid.
Customize the toppings to suit your tastes! Other yummy options include diced green peppers, mushrooms, slices of meatball, etc.
Make sure to let them rest when they come out of the oven so the cheese has a chance to set up.
