  • ¾ cup mozzarella cheese - shredded
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese - shredded
  • 2 garlic cloves - finely minced
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning mix
  • ¼ cup crunchy bacon bits - or diced ham
  • 1 pizza dough ball (8 oz.) - or an 8 oz. sheet of puff pastry

  • Salt and pepper - to taste

Instructions
 

  • Lightly oil the cake pop maker plates. Mix cheeses, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, bacon, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Roll out dough on a floured table.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut out 24 squares. Alternatively, you can use a round cookie cutter to make circles.
  • Place 1 tsp. of filling in one of the squares, close it in your hand and roll it to form an even ball. (If it gets sticky, you can add a bit of flour.) Repeat with the remaining squares. Preheat the cake pop maker.
  • Place the balls in the cake pop maker. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden toned. If they didn’t brown evenly, you can flip them over and cook until golden on both sides.
