Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup (80 g) low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
- 48 slices (21 g) mini pepperoni
- Italian seasoning, to taste (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 to prepare for shaping the chips.
- Assemble the Chips: Spoon 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each greased muffin cup. Press the cheese down lightly to form a flat base. Then place three mini pepperoni slices on top of each cheese layer evenly.
- Add a Flavor Twist: Sprinkle a small pinch of Italian seasoning over each muffin cup to add a vibrant herbal flavor and enhance the overall taste.
- Bake: Place the mini muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes or until the cheese edges turn a dark golden brown and crisp up nicely.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the pizza chips to cool slightly. Carefully lift the chips out of the muffin cups once they have set. Serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use low moisture mozzarella cheese for best melting and crisping results.
- Greasing the mini muffin pan cups well will help the chips release easily after baking.
- Adjust the number of pepperoni slices based on chip size or personal preference.
- You can experiment with additional toppings like sliced olives or a sprinkle of parmesan for variety.
- Serve immediately for the crispiest texture as they may soften after cooling completely.
