Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices of pizza pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Preheat while you prepare the crisps for even baking.
- Prepare the Muffin Tin:
- Use a non-stick muffin tin and place one slice of pepperoni at the bottom of each cup.
- Add the Cheese:
- Evenly divide the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni slices. Press the cheese gently to adhere to the pepperoni.
- Bake the Crisps:
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the tin from the oven and allow the crisps to cool for 5 minutes. This helps the cheese set, ensuring the perfect texture. Carefully remove and serve warm or at room temperature.
