Description

These Pizza Chips are a delightful, bite-sized snack that combines melted low-moisture mozzarella cheese with mini pepperoni slices and Italian seasoning. Baked to golden perfection in a mini muffin pan, they make for a crispy, savory treat perfect for parties or a quick snack, optionally served with marinara or other dipping sauces.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Toppings

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

Optional Dips

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

Equipment

  • Mini muffin pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, grease your mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent the cheese from sticking.
  2. Add Cheese to Muffin Cups: Spoon 2 to 2.5 tablespoons of shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese into each muffin cup, spreading it evenly.
  3. Add Pepperoni and Seasoning: Place 3 to 4 slices of mini pepperoni on top of the cheese in each cup, then sprinkle a generous amount of Italian seasoning mix over the top. You may also add any other seasoning blend if desired for extra flavor.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges start to turn golden brown and crispy.
  5. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and let the pizza chips cool in the pan for about 5 minutes at room temperature to allow them to set and crisp up further.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the pizza chips from the muffin pan and transfer them to a serving tray. Serve them warm with optional marinara sauce, alfredo sauce, ranch dressing, or enjoy them plain to savor the perfect combination of cheesy and pepperoni flavors.

Notes

  • The key to a crispy texture is using low-moisture mozzarella cheese; however, you can experiment with other types of cheese depending on your preference.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of pepperoni or seasoning to suit your taste.
  • These pizza chips can be served with various dips including marinara, alfredo, or ranch dressing.
  • Allowing the chips to cool slightly in the pan helps them firm up and avoid sticking.
