Introduction

Ingredients
- 2/3 cup (80 g) low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
- 48 slices (21 g) mini pepperoni
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease 16 cups of a mini muffin pan to prepare for the chips.
- Step 2: Spoon 2 teaspoons of mozzarella cheese into each greased muffin cup, then lightly press the cheese down.
- Step 3: Top each cup with three slices of mini pepperoni.
- Step 4: Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning over each cup for added flavor.
- Step 5: Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese turn a dark golden brown.
- Step 6: Allow the chips to cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- Try adding a pinch of garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes before baking for an extra flavor kick.
- Use turkey pepperoni for a leaner option or swap mozzarella for another melting cheese like cheddar for a different taste.
- If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making small piles of cheese and pepperoni instead.
Storage
Store leftover pizza chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) for a few minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

- 48 slices (21 g) mini pepperoni
- Italian seasoning, a light sprinkle (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease 16 cups of a mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and to help shape the chips.
- Assemble the Chips: Spoon 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each greased mini muffin cup. Lightly press the cheese down to spread it evenly in the cup, then top each with three slices of mini pepperoni.
- Add a Flavor Twist: Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning over each assembled cup to enhance the flavor with some herbaceous zest.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes or until the cheese edges turn a dark golden brown and become crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes so they firm up. Carefully remove the pizza chips from the muffin cups and serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use low moisture mozzarella cheese for the best melting and crisping effect.
- Greasing the muffin pan is essential to easily remove the chips without breaking.
