Ingredients
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices pizza pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crisps.
- Prepare the pepperoni bases: Arrange the pepperoni slices snugly into each cup of a non-stick muffin tin, creating the base for the crisps.
- Add the cheese topping: In a bowl, mix the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the pepperoni slices, pressing down slightly to help it adhere.
- Bake the crisps: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese edges are crispy and golden brown.
- Cool and remove: Let the crisps cool in the tin for 5 minutes to firm up before gently removing them to avoid breaking.
Notes
- Use a non-stick muffin tin or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- The crisps are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Customize by adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes for added flavor.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute cheeses with vegan shreds.
