Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 2/3 cup low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 48 slices mini pepperoni (about 21 g)
- Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for crisping the pizza chips evenly.
- Prepare the Mini Muffin Pan: Lightly grease 16 cups of a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or a little oil to prevent sticking and allow for easy removal of the chips.
- Add the Cheese: Place 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each greased mini muffin cup. Press the cheese down lightly to help it melt evenly while baking.
- Top with Pepperoni: Arrange 3 slices of mini pepperoni on top of the cheese in each cup. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the pepperoni for added flavor.
- Bake: Bake the muffin pan in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese turn a dark golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, as oven times can vary.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the pizza chips to cool in the muffin pan until they are safe to handle and firm up, making them easier to remove without breaking. Use a small spatula or knife to carefully lift the chips out.
- Serve: Place the chips on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease. Serve warm on their own or with marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with extra Italian seasoning or grated Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Watch the chips closely during baking to prevent burning; oven temperatures vary.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.
- These chips can be served with various dips like ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara sauce.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to retain crispiness.
- Use low moisture mozzarella cheese for best melting and crisping results.
