Ingredients
- 2/3 cup (80 g) low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
- 48 slices (21 g) mini pepperoni
- Italian seasoning, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease 16 cups of a mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and for easy chip removal.
- Assemble the Chips: Spoon 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each greased muffin cup, then lightly press the cheese down to spread evenly. Place three mini pepperoni slices on top of the cheese in each cup.
- Add a Flavor Twist: Sprinkle a small amount of Italian seasoning over each assembled cup to add extra flavor and zing to your pizza chips.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese edges turn dark golden brown and become crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chips to cool slightly so they firm up before carefully removing them from the muffin pan. Serve warm for best taste, optionally with marinara sauce as a dipping accompaniment.
Notes
- Ensure the mini muffin pan cups are well greased to facilitate easy removal.
- Watch the chips carefully as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh and warm for optimal crispiness.
- Substitute Italian seasoning with other herbs like oregano or basil if preferred.
- Marinara or pizza sauce makes a great dip to enhance the flavor experience.
