Ingredients
1 (16-oz.) pkg. jumbo refrigerated biscuits
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz.)
4 tsp basil pesto (store-bought)
8 frozen cooked 1-inch meatballs
100% cotton kitchen string
8 fresh rosemary leaves
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate biscuits and roll each to about 4 ½ inches in diameter.
Place 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough round. Add ½ tsp pesto and one meatball.
Bring dough up around the meatball and pinch to seal at the top.
Loosely tie each dough ball with cotton kitchen string at 1 ½-inch intervals to mimic pumpkin ridges.
Place on baking sheet and bake 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
Cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove string and top each with a rosemary leaf for the pumpkin “stem.”
Serve warm.
Notes
Use mini mozzarella balls for extra gooey filling.
String must be 100% cotton—synthetic fibers can melt.
These are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.
Perfect for Halloween parties, Thanksgiving, or fall-themed events.
