Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Meat
- 12 slices pizza pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature for the crisps.
- Prepare Pepperoni Base: Place one slice of pepperoni into each cup of a non-stick muffin tin, creating individual bases for the cheese topping.
- Mix Cheeses: In a small bowl, combine the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, mixing them well to create a flavorful blend.
- Add Cheese Mixture: Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over each pepperoni slice in the muffin tin, pressing it down gently to flatten it and ensure even melting.
- Bake: Bake the pepperoni cheese crisps in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and turns crisp and golden brown around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the crisps to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes to firm up, then carefully remove them and enjoy.
