Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices pizza pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place one slice of pepperoni at the bottom of each muffin cup in a non-stick muffin tin.
- Evenly divide the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni slices, gently pressing it flat.
- Bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and browned, while the center remains slightly soft.
- Let the crisps cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close watch to avoid burning.
- Cheese variations like Parmesan or Monterey Jack can give you a fun twist on the flavor.
- These crisps store well in the fridge for 3 days, just reheat them in the oven to restore the crunch!
