Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Main
- 12 slices pizza pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking your crisps.
- Prepare the pepperoni base: Place one slice of pepperoni into each cup of a non-stick muffin tin, creating a base for your cheese topping.
- Mix the cheeses: In a small bowl, combine the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, mixing them well to blend flavors evenly.
- Top with cheese: Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over each pepperoni slice, pressing it flat so it covers the pepperoni nicely for even melting.
- Bake the crisps: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the crisps are crisp and golden brown, ensuring a perfect crunch.
- Cool before serving: Let the crisps cool in the tin for 5 minutes to set and firm up before removing them carefully to serve.
Notes
- Use a non-stick muffin tin to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Allow the crisps to cool sufficiently to avoid burning your fingers and to help them firm up.
- These crisps are great served warm as a snack or appetizer.
- You can substitute the pepperoni with other cured meats like salami for flavor variation.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes before baking.
