Description

These Pizza Chips are a quick and delicious snack combining melted mozzarella, spicy mini pepperoni slices, and Italian seasoning baked into crispy, golden bites. Perfect for parties or a tasty treat, they can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite marinara, Alfredo, or ranch dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 50 mini pepperoni slices
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning mix

Optional Sauces

  • Marinara sauce for dipping
  • Alfredo sauce (optional)
  • Ranch dressing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the chips.
  2. Add Cheese: Evenly distribute about 2 to 2.5 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella into each cup of the muffin pan, spreading it slightly to form a base layer.
  3. Add Pepperoni and Seasoning: Place 3 to 4 mini pepperoni slices on top of the cheese in each muffin cup. Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the pepperoni for extra flavor. Feel free to add other seasoning blends if you prefer.
  4. Bake: Bake the tray in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges become golden brown and crispy.
  5. Cool: Carefully remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the pizza chips cool for about 5 minutes at room temperature. This helps them firm up and makes removal easier.
  6. Serve: Gently remove the pizza chips from the muffin pan and transfer them to a serving tray. Serve them warm with optional marinara, Alfredo, or ranch sauce for dipping, or enjoy them plain to savor the cheesy and pepperoni flavors.

Notes

  • Use low moisture mozzarella cheese for best melting and crispiness.
  • Greasing the muffin pan well prevents the chips from sticking.
  • Adjust the amount of pepperoni or seasoning to your taste preference.
  • These pizza chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated briefly.
  • For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper to the seasoning.
