Description

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 50 mini pepperoni slices
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning mix

Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  • Marinara sauce, for serving
  • Optional: Alfredo or ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Cheese: Place 2 to 2.5 tablespoons of shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese into each cup of the muffin pan, spreading it evenly.
  3. Top with Pepperoni and Seasoning: Add 3-4 mini pepperoni slices on top of the cheese in each cup, then generously sprinkle a bit of Italian seasoning mix over each to enhance flavor.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the pizza chips are golden brown and edges are crispy.
  5. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the pizza chips to cool at room temperature for about 5 minutes. This helps them crisp up further.
  6. Serve: Transfer the chips to a serving tray and enjoy them plain or dipped in marinara, Alfredo, or ranch dressing as preferred.

Notes

  • Use low-moisture mozzarella cheese for the best crispy texture; higher moisture cheeses may result in less crisp chips.
  • Feel free to substitute or add other cheese types according to your preference but maintain low moisture for optimal results.
  • For extra flavor, try different seasoning blends or add herbs like oregano or crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Allowing the chips to cool before serving improves crispiness and handling.
