Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Other Ingredients
- 12 slices pizza pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the crisps to crispy perfection.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Place one slice of pizza pepperoni into each cup of a non-stick muffin tin to form the base for your cheesy crisps.
- Combine Cheeses: In a small bowl, mix the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until well combined for an even cheese blend.
- Assemble Crisps: Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over each pepperoni slice and press the cheese flat to cover the pepperoni completely.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges turn crisp and golden brown.
- Cool: Allow the crisps to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes so they firm up before carefully removing them.
Notes
- Use a non-stick muffin tin or grease the tin lightly to prevent sticking.
- For extra crunch, bake a minute or two longer but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Customize by adding herbs or spices like Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- These crisps make a great low-carb snack or appetizer.
