Made with just 5 ingredients, these puff-pastry meatball marinara bites are fluffy and cheesy goodness and the perfect appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1-2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
- 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
- 12-24 meatballs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Thaw out 1 sheet for 12, or 2 sheets for 24 meatball puff things. Unroll it out on a floured surface to the size of a muffin pan. Place the muffin pan on top of the dough and press down, creating little indentations. Use the indents to guide your cutting of 12 squares for the cups.
- Spray the muffin pan with nonstick spray and place a dough square in each muffin well, pressing down to the sides.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown. Once removed, use a wooden spoon and immediately press down the center to make room for the meatball.
- Fill each cup with 1/2 tablespoon spaghetti sauce, 1 cooked meatball, and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
