Start off with 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix them all together.
Then open one 10-ounce tube of refrigerated biscuits. Split the biscuits in half so you have twice as many thinner biscuits (this is a little easier if you use flaky biscuits). With your fingers, stretch each biscuit out into an oval shape. Top each one with a few slices of pepperoni (or your favorite pizza topping). Be sure your toppings are slightly off center, because we will be folding these over to make pockets in just a minute!
Add about one tablespoon of the cheese mixture to the pepperoni. (If you use too much cheese, it will ooze out of the calzone pocket during baking. It still tastes good, it just makes a mess!)
Then fold the biscuit in half, and use your fingers to press the edges firmly together.
Arrange all your mini calzones on a lightly greased baking sheet (or an ungreased baking stone). Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown. Serve with a side of pizza sauce, or another favorite dipping sauce!
