Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 2/3 cup low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
Meat
- 48 slices mini pepperoni (about 21 g)
Seasoning (Optional)
- Italian seasoning, for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is hot enough to create a crispy texture for your pizza chips.
- Prepare the Mini Muffin Pan: Lightly grease 16 cups of a mini muffin pan using cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the chips after baking.
- Add the Cheese: Place 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each greased cup and gently pat it down for even melting.
- Top with Pepperoni: Arrange 3 slices of mini pepperoni over the cheese in each cup. Optionally, sprinkle Italian seasoning on top for an extra flavor boost.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the cheese edges turn dark golden brown. Keep an eye to avoid burning as oven performance may vary.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the chips to cool in the pan until they are firm and safe to handle. Use a small spatula or knife to gently loosen and lift them out, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
- Serve: Enjoy the pizza chips warm on their own or with marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with additional Italian seasoning or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Use low moisture shredded mozzarella for best melting and crisping results.
- Keep a close watch while baking as cheese can quickly go from golden to burnt.
- Substitute pepperoni with other toppings like sliced olives or mini sausage pieces for variety.
- Chips are best served fresh but can be stored for a day and reheated briefly for crispiness.
